MISSING INFORMATION

19/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Missing information will lead to your characters making misjudgements and so on but, of course, this often is a deliberate ploy on the part of your character's opponents.  What matters is that the missing information really does have to be crucial (and not easily looked up separately by your character to get themselves out of trouble).  Why are the opponents willing your character to fail? Motivation is everything for a character and it does have to be strong enough to convince your reader.

What does your character do when he/she realises they're missing crucial information to help them reach their goal or what have you?  Do they panic or keep calm?  How do they try to get the missing data?  What can they do to fight back against their opponents?  Does anyone else try to slip them the information they need?

Some good potential stories here!
