The Outline

Now I know what my characters are going to do, for the most part. I have the scam, the crime (murder of course, a couple of them), sex scandal and several secondary plots. I should probably put some sex scenes in there but may need someone else to write them. We'll see how well my long term memory works :-)
In coming up with the idea for a scam I did some research and what I found was fairly shocking. The things individuals do to screw over old people is nothing compared to what the government does. Reading the Medicare rules and benefits etc. made me madder with each paragraph. We should let our old people just chill. Sit back, try to enjoy your years, you've earned them. We've got your back on doctors and hospitals for you.
Anyway, the book is not a downer and don't mean for this to be, just passing it along in case you want to write a congressman or senator or letter to the editor.

Now, on to writing my first scene. The protagonist is in the middle of a hurricane. Hold on to your hats!
