From Monica, I guess that's what she looks like when she writes |
4.
There are several key items in this story
a.
The old telescope. It turns out that Pattell's old telescope,
the one that the evil Astronomy professor used is stored in the Library with
the astronomical records. Both are quite
interesting. The lens of the telescope
is apparently etched with an image. What
could it be?
b.
The Relics that the cult possess. Ethan has something and Lucy has a few
things. What could they be and what
power do they contain
c.
There are several books and records in the
Library. Some are complete, some
partial. Some are copies and some are original. All contain some portion or pieces of arcane
knowledge (similar to Lovecraft's Necronomicon).
d.
The Temple of the Lost Gods. This is apparently a dollhouse sized model of
a Greek temple carved of stone and includes carved lettering assumed to be spells. The stone is not what it seems. The carvings are not what they seem and the
temple as a whole is not what it seems.
The struggle for it is very real.
5.
Dress is normal for most at most times.
a.
Okay, I'll let you in on something about the
cult. When they perform
"spells" they must wear clothing that is knit. All of their clothing, from top clothes to
underclothing and shoes. They must have
received this clothing as a gift. It had
to have been knitted by reciting stanzas from certain books, spells as it
were. The material used will remain a
secret until the time when it is most appropriate to reveal in the story. The nature of the knitting needles as well.
6.
Minor characters include:
a.
I will get back to you on this, I'll probably
develop them as I need them
7.
Style? I
got style; including:
a.
Unusual, foreign, archaic, uniquely spelled, and
made-up names.
b.
All place names.
c.
Names of restaurants, stores, schools, and other
establishments.
d.
Anything that gets a red squiggly line as you
type it. Anything that shows up as a spelling error (whether it’s fictional or
the computer just doesn’t recognize it)
e.
Foreign, archaic, regional, or made up words and
phrases.
f.
I will build this part as I go
8.
Theme is good losing to evil. I thought I explained that before
9.
This is really the money part of this whole
post. If I can nail this down then I
stand the best chance of getting my novel written:
a.
Maybe a should have a whole separate post just
for the outline
