I have been working on Twilight-related things. Not many, mind you. I’ve been pre-occupied with sifting stuff, throwing stuff out, filing stuff, and relocating stuff to sit with like stuff in preparation for moving stuff to a new storage building, er, house.

That’s convenient, because I can say I’m” incubating ideas to enhance the plot and sub-plots to the story.” What on earth do I mean by that? I have no idea, but it sounds good. What I AM doing is delving deeper into my antagonist character to figure out what makes him tick in several key areas, because, while I know in my heart what drives him to do what he does, I don’t have the details of the backstory down yet. While driving over to Northern Tool and Equipment this afternoon, I learned his sister’s name–Sherry. I also need to understand his “politics” a bit more–doing some research there.

Once I capture these things, I’ll know where I need to flesh out the manuscript to make sense to the reader, who doesn’t know these things and will be wondering what on earth drives this man to do what he does. I’m certain they’ll also be wondering why they should care.
