So I want to write a time travel novel.

I love time travel, mostly because it's a difficult problem to solve (obviously a fictional problem, a thought experiment.) I grew up watching Back to the Future religiously, and despite all the comical and endearing loopholes, I was fascinated by the bizarre cause and effect of the time travelers' actions.

The novel I write won't be from the perspective of the time travelers. Usually the narrator goes back in time and sees things unfold differently from their own perspective. I want to write a linear time travel story. We start from day one, and end with the end. This will be challenging, as you'll have future manifestations of familiar characters show up early in the story. Their presence will have to be dramatic yet interesting at the time of reading, and even more interesting later on, when you meet them in "their" time.

More on this later.
