You know what really stinks about 2020? Besides everything else, I mean. I can't say my book is set in 2020, or else people will be like, where's the virus? The quarantine? The killer hornets? The mutant hybrid dinosaurs- oh, wait, that's not yet. Or, hopefully, ever.

So now I'm thinking I'll begin it with her being nineteen, and the prophecies of the end of the world happening when she's twenty, after all.
