It's tough. I have an old draft for a story where people are building a mega-structure around the sun to harvest energy. Then I happened upon the concept "Dyson sphere" and binned it.

When I was little I thought of a theory timeline splitting at each action and there being multiple timelines each containing what would have happened if it went that specific way. Then I saw many worlds interpretation.

Why would you bin it??? Just because it’s scientifically possible, it doesn’t make it any less cool.

Well, I was kinda happy with my new invention, and then when I realized it was hypothesized already in the 60s/70s (or whenever), I kinda lost that spark to keep writing it. I might have also lost it when my old computer crashed...

The story involved a space race between the usual state actors, a female engineer surviving malicious sabotage on the Mars-sol plasma relay station, and one unknown outside force...
