From picture to story


This is the location in Corsica where my hero and heroine will meet two busy bodies. And from there, my heroine will learn about the fate of her missing father. I know where I want the scene to happen but I need to figure out how the two busy bodies can help. Should I make them as villains?

  1. It depends on the tone of the novel. The busy bodies could be hapless bystanders who get sucked into the drama by accident--maybe getting their commupence along the way.

  2. It depends, does the story need active villains who are intentionally working against the main characters, or is it a story more suited to a well meaning busybody tag along who continually messes stuff up without evil intent?

  3. I've two villains already in the story, Aaron, I think I will let the busybody as harmless.

  4. Making the busybodies as harmless definitely woks. :)

  5. Maybe they could provide comic relief? That's one way to go. And great pic!
