Now that was surprising. I so want to know where you are going to take this.

Wow, that's brilliant. On the one hand I don't know how you can keep it all straight in your head as you're writing, but on the other hand, I had no trouble keeping it straight as I read it. I'm fascinated to see where you're going to take it.

Sometimes, I make charts. These charts have reality columns and the dates down the side, then John sleeps, jump to [following plot thread + date] at the bottom of each box. (Don't worry, that level of madness doesn't come in for a while.) Later chapters will include John's daylist, his personal calendar system, just to make sure everyone stays on the same page. I'm glad it's reading intelligibly so far, though!

Thanks for reading!

Oh, this is so interesting. Love the premise and the way you've used it - I'm fascinated to see where this goes next!

How you keep up with all the story lines is beyond me; you are amazing. And I love your writing. Cannot wait for more. Thank you so much for existing.

Clearly, I watch/read way too much scifi. Beyond that, charts and tables. As the story grows in complexity, I'll include visual aids.

And thank you for reading!

I love visual aids; you're my hero :D
