(I hesitate to put this on these forums, but I'm stuck, and my normal writing forums are not helping much, so here goes)
I'm working on a book with a vigilante/thriller theme. I've got my Main Character working through a hit list, based on his own reasons. His helper is a woman I've also got a villain who is trying to gain from these events. I'm 40k words into the novel.
I need help with two things:
1) I need some minor/major plot twists. I'm stuck on how to put in a few turns to spice it up.
2) I want to add another bad guy, but not sure how.
Any suggestions would be most welcome. I'll answer questions if you them.
Also, someone just asked me this - if you want to send me an idea privately, please do - I know some people don't want their creativity criticized.
Thanks ahead of time!
