Time Travel Generation

Over the weekend, I read a full manuscript for work regarding time travel. Unfortunately, I'm not at liberty to divulge details, but it's an established author and the book was pretty funky, twisting classic folklore styles and tales. Really highbrow stuff, considering it's a Middle Grade. Somewhere in there, discussing the book with my colleagues, I reffered to people my age as the Time Travel Generation. This is because anyone born between 1980 and 1990 grew up with both Back to the Future and Bill and Ted. Which, let's face it, are awesome movies regardless of how old you are.

This in turn served to remind me of what I used to call the fear of writing (or of showing that writing to other people.) I called it the McFly syndrome after George McFly. Do you want to be George McFly? No? Then quit your whining and finish writing that novel you've been working on for a decade. You sissy.
