I don't have the actual word fuzzy, but I can offer this rather fuzzy chase scene. #wipsnips #amquerying #sffwriters #writingcommunity #writersky #timetravelauthors #speclit #amwriting #authors #thrillerwriters #writers

D9. The MC is probably the most cynical - though most people would probably be cynical when presented with time travel as fact rather than fantasy. Unless you're a quantum scientist or a bent politician in my story, you're going to doubt what the powers that be are telling you. #timetravelauthors
There's nothing remotely like a lizard in my story. The absolute best I can manage is a bluebottle. #wipsnips #amquerying #sffwriters #writingcommunity #writersky #timetravelauthors #speclit #amwriting #authors #thrillerwriters #writers
D7. “It was rhetorical, Olssen, I know where he’s been. I also know about an aborted kidnapping, a corpse on the hotel driveway and a fugitive scientist. This has been a deeply embarrassing day for British security and you'd better have some damned good explanations...” #timetravelauthors
No rice, but I can manage some beans. #wipsnips #amquerying #sffwriters #writingcommunity #writersky #timetravelauthors #speclit #amwriting #authors #thrillerwriters #writers
D5. Some of the characters pass through a time vortex and find themselves in the middle of an English Civil War battle. This particular battle didn't really happen - I made it up - but I like to think the details of 17th century warfare are correct and compelling. #timetravelauthors #timetravel
D3. Dent imagined ethereal voices in the fog as he slogged up the hill, only getting the fear under control when they reached level ground. I’m a scientist, he thought impatiently, ghosts don’t exist and even if they do, they can’t harm me. Those trackers on the other hand… #timetravelauthors
D1. Whispers in the undergrowth, childish giggles and figures in his peripheral vision that disappeared whenever he looked directly at them. A company of skeletal roundhead soldiers stalked him, ragged bodies hidden by the shifting fog, rusted swords raised in fleshless fingers… #timetravelauthors
D29. Another film poster from the #posterpit event for today's promo. #timetravelauthors #timetravel
D27. That would be the main antagonist, a quantum physicist called Alan Dent. He's a genius, and he knows it, and he's very happy to display his vast, superior intellect at every opportunity, and many inopportune moments too. #timetravelauthors #timetravel
D25. There are two characters who have travelled in, separately, from different years in the future and got stuck in 1972. Both of them want to get back to their original time periods so they can resume their lives there. I can't promise happy endings for either. 😉 #timetravelauthors #timetravel
I don't have nation, but do have realm. #wipsnips #amquerying #sffwriters #writingcommunity #writersky #timetravelauthors #speclit #amwriting #authors #thrillerwriters #writers
No meddling, but I have interference. #wipsnips #amquerying #sffwriters #writingcommunity #writersky #timetravelauthors #speclit #amwriting #authors #thrillerwriters #writers
D23. The prudish attitude made Fletcher smile. "Don't they have one night stands where you come from?" "Of course they do,” said Connell, reddening. “I was just–" “Having a brain fart?” “Brain fart?” It was Connell’s turn to smile. “You sound like a Yuppie banker.” #timetravelauthors #timetravel
No meltdown, but I have breakdown. #wipsnips #amquerying #sffwriters #writingcommunity #writersky #timetravelauthors #speclit #amwriting #authors #thrillerwriters #writers
D21. Most annoying is probably the story's main antagonist, a highly strung scientist with questionable social skills and a habit of blurting things out with little filter. At least, thats how I intended he should come across. He's also happens to be a genius #timetravelauthors #timetravel
