I think I might try to play with the red herring in terms of thinking she misjudged him and then finding out he is a bad guy, but I like that added twist of him being a bad guy about something she didn't expect.<BR/><BR/>I've been irritable today, but this sort of thing always puts me in a good mood, so thanks for that as well. ~wanders off, pondering red herrings~Sabrina Favorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303054417674236268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176484070660608180.post-3311133419090619002007-07-01T07:44:00.000-10:002007-07-01T07:44:00.000-10:00You might want to consider, for this one item by i...You might want to consider, for this one item by itself, to increase the tension bit by bit, then relieve it with a red herring (like evidence she might have misjudged the guy) and then doing it again. Maybe when she's really unsure of her decision, he proves himself rotten. Or, you could go the other way and have her see evidence to the contrary and be a pit bull and grab her theory and stick to it...and be wrong because he's not a rotten guy. Or, he turns out to be rotten but not about the thing she's focused on! <BR/><BR/>Confusing? <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, hope the idea helps. I particularly love it when I can spot the red herrings and feel smarter than the character.writtenwyrddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02280711822302493122noreply@blogger.com
