Story Holes
Okay, what kind of crazy writer openly discusses holes in their story. Your truly, that’s who. This story was written on the cuff. I’ve had a basic idea of how I want the story to unfold, but I didn’t have many of the details. Looking back I can see some holes in the story that will have to be plugged during rewrites. So before you go sending me hate mail and telling me I missed details, just glance over what I have listed below, and feel free to comment.
1. As the story opens, we learn that Lucy is in a prison and her release documents indicate she was indited in Oklahoma. The only problem is, when they travel to the cemetery they are in California coastline. It may not be noted, but that’s where I pictured it. (Solution : They are in California. Lucy was transferred to California Department of Corrections.)
2. The team travels to North Carolina they arrive at Pisgah National Park in a van. But I never explain how they got to North Carolina. Dozer is with them. He’s huge. How could they get there? They need a vehicle. (Solution : As the need to travel more, I need to find a method for them to travel. I was thinking something mystical, but I really think we need to keep this as much in reality as possible. I also want to use Gadget more. My solution is to use a retrofitted C-130 as their means to travel. Gadget can “hack” whatever FAA systems are needed to get them clearance, and he can also be the pilot. )
3. Where is the base? The base is located on Dume Cove along Cliffside Drive.
