/lit/ - Literature

I have an idea for a novel but I need some honest feedback before I proceed. Specifically I am worried about my narrative structure and how clunky it may feel for the reader.

>Character A has a story arc set in a particular city, occurs a few years in the past
>Character B has a story arc which happens in the same setting but 3 years after Character A's story
>through the course of both stories, at both points of time, A and B interact with each other fairly frequently
>plot progresses linearly but switches scenes between A and B in their different timelines

Is there already something like this? The immediate problem would be confusing the reader if they lose track of the time swaps. If my writing sucks the whole thing won't work. Tell me what you think.

I was going to type out this paragraph about the theme: how painfully close we unknowingly come to connecting deeply with people but the chances lost due to timing. But I realized my low level motivation for writing this thing is my personal failure to connect with that girl I sought for three years and how the paths of our individual lives are forever careening away among the arc of immortal time.

>There are people that still believe and shitpost about MBTI shit.
Only underages take that shit seriously. What tops it all are these same idiots that shitpost all day about their shitty MBTI type and almost make a cult about it, and go on days telling everyone how proud they are and who they indentify with and who better suits them. Its the equivelent of girly teens reading about zodiac signs in pink mags and getting exited over it and comparing it to celebs.

How's it coming, friends? Pic related?

Alright boys let's get this bread

At least you have a cafe
I have to write and read on public transportation and at home. The starbucks near where i go to school has like 5 flies that they won't just fucking kill, and my job requires me to stand at a register all day. Sometimes i can write while in class as my teacher prattles on about something topical like trump or google or whatever other news the masses have latched onto recently.
