Classes have begun...so I'm feeling like things are beginning to get a little bit busier, which is a good thing cause I seem to work better if my plate is full and I'm grousing about it.
Don't know why, but that's the way it feels.
So I've started working on the end game...or at least the second part of Act II and movement into Act III.
Is it possible to transport through space by way of pathways through Faerie so that you leave Northeast US and wind up in Italy? I hope so...
Do I have to deal with all of the possible physics related to it? I hope not...
Anyway, as I was talking with a friend--we were both waiting for our rounds of pool to start--I was whingeing about the fact that this book thing seems to sit and spin and go nowhere really damn fast. But I also mentioned that I was trying to work out the back end now so that I could figure out where I was going.
I was...lost. Set adrift in my own novel without a clue as to where I and it are going...
So as I was talking, I figured that my protagonist's aunt needs to get back in contact. Something's missing in her notes, so she needs to recheck on something with the protagonist.
That's how the bad guy finds her approximate location.
Is it very hard to tap someone's phone? How complicated might it be to trace that call? On TV they do it right quick all the time. And I can imagine that my bad guy has some "assistance" from within the local phone company.
Anyhow, the aunt is nicked. And now my protagonist and her friends are out there trying to figure out where they grabbed her...not to mention where they are taking her.
But one thing...her notes are so cryptic and she's not talking. So the bad guy still needs the book.
So we've got a bargaining chip...
