So I am writing a novel/novella/story and I have come across a dilemma. There are two story lines, one that is the present and one that is flashbacks. When I originally thought up the plot I didn't take into account that there would be a difference in times (specifically a 23 year period). So the obvious thing to do would be to have the present story take place in 2011 and the flashback to be in 1988. However, my original idea involves texting which obviously did not exist in 1988 and since I did not live in 1988 I wouldn't exactly know how to portray it. If the need be I could figure something out to replace texting.
My other option is for the flashback to be in like 2007 and the "present day" be in 2030. But I didn't live in 2030 either so i'll get somethings wrong.
I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you so much for your help.
