I could use your help. I’m writing a book series very much like Cussler’s Dirk Pitt books, and I got the entire first book all planned out EXCEPT the main character. I know who the bad guys are, what their sinister far-fetched plot is, and what will happen in the end battle. It is very Clive Cussler-ish, I just am lost when it comes to my main character. The ending is very Cusslerish though. Imagine the Sahara ending times 4.
The character basically needs to travel like Pitt does, happens to be in the area in time to save someone, then sniffs around and hunts down the sinister people. I just don’t know what his job is in the book.
Right now I’m thinking of a zoologist, Steve Irwin type, but I’d like any suggestions.
Its a great book though – its a lot like Treasure or Inca Gold. The title is “Columbian Death”. The main character’s name is Trevor Knight. I’m on chapter 4 and need the main character to enter. Help! I’ll love you forever!
Also Prim dying was so upsetting although I didn’t cry as I did at the end when the book did not have the ending I had hoped for. I find it so unrealistic how Katniss’s mother chose to build a hospital instead of being with her only child whos alive and for that matter only family member alive. I love how Greasy Sae was there in the end and Haymitch who I was a little upset when Katniss said that he hadn’t come to visit her even though they live so close. Loved Cinna and miss him. Loved FInnick and miss him so much! I loved his easy going flirty ways and then with Annie, that was adorable! Katniss killing Coin in the end had no effect on me, I never liked her. At the end of the story I was wishing so badly that it was back to normal like in the first book. My fantasy ending would be Katniss and Peeta win the hunger games like they did in book one and they went on licing with everyone in district 12. The only down side is that I wouldnt get to meet all these amazing characters. Since I couldn’t have that ending I would like to say, I almost wish in the end that Katniss hadn’t chosen between Gale and Peeta. That they all three lived in district 12 and the book ended without you getting to know who she chose. I would be able to sleep much better. I am glad she ended up with Peeta but again I feel like he wasn’t the same and he wasn’t as sure about his feelings for Katniss as he was at the games. Wish it was the old Peeta!
