Writing a Revenge Story
One of the best ways to get even is writing a revenge story. I saw a post that read that we authors can use people we want in stories so these people should be careful. Well, there are a few who weren't careful and I embarked on a project that is now out of my league: Writing a crime scene investigation.
In my story, I had a character kidnapped, but he abduction went wrong and someone else killed the character. I even included thoughts and POV from the killer, but to write the investigation, I am lost! I have never seem a real investigation--only what is on TV. I thought I will get my info that way, but someone dropped the bomb on me and now I am discouraged: Should I trash the story or get help? The bomb is: shows like CSI does not portray real life CSI accurately. Well, isn't fiction books the same as fictional shows? The answer I got was no.
If anyone can help, please do. I feel that I am over my head and wanting to throw in the proverbial towel.
