Updated Ren Vamp's scene list. Discovered I need to delete at
least 3 scenes due to repeat of them. Sigh. But at least that'll help the story.
Beginning of story has 11 ch's and 25 scene. Middle of story begins on ch 12/page 78. So
there are ch 12 thru ch 15 written.
Whew!

Caught up on scene list etc
Finally got caught up on scene list. Discovered I repeated at least one scene twice. Will need to delete
one. Months ago I decided to put a scene # at top of each scene which will let me know how many scenes there are since I'm writing them in chapters for this wip. Have 35 scenes with the next one
partially written.
Middle. Ch 12 begins the story middle.
There are currently 15 chapters drafted. Scene 36 begins ch 16.
WHEW!

Renegade Vampire - keeping or deleting scenes
l like this new 1st scene for ch 2.
Wish I'd thought of using a bluetooth aand the conversation between Talon and Captain Martinez his former boss.
That does save time for Talon to get to his former boss.

Renegade Vampire - GMC scenes
Here's a list of scene using goals, motivations and conflict. Some stuff is blank since
I'm having trouble figuring them out. These scenes intro hero and his love interest plus
villain and at least one suspect. This is my 1st attempt to write a murder mystery. What are your
thoughts on what I've done so far. Please leave a comment.
Thanks.

Renegade Vampire - new notes
Okay. Here's what might make a good wording for a synopsis. What do you think? If you read this please leave a comment explaining your answer. Ty. btw, the word Beginning is for my benefit only.
Renegade Vampire
new notes
12-1-12
With
deaths of cops rising, vampire Talon Torran, must catch the cop
killer before the entire PD is
wiped out.
BEGINNING
Vampire Talon Torran,
a former tracker of renegade vampires, is asked by the Portland, Oregon police
chief to come out of retirement to catch a rogue vampire on a murderous spree.
His victims – cops.
Concerned about his
younger brother, Jude, being in some sort of trouble, he heads for Portland to
make sure the rumors aren’t true. He’d been told by a few of their mutual
friends that his brother has considered not to continue his daily dosage of
synthetic blood. He hopes for Jude’s sake his faithfulness the SB Program
hasn’t slacked or worse. If it has he needs to get him back on track. He doesn’t
want Jude to be deported let alone face an uncertain punishment of death.
Before he begins his
job he must team with a handsome mortal detective since he’s not authorized to
handle any weapons. He quickly discovers he will have difficulty focusing on
his work since Dillon McCain is the most handsome man he’s met in over a
century and the lust storming through his veins. However, he must be overly
cautious to not pursue his emotions toward the hunky mortal. Should they get
caught in having an affair both will endure harsh punishment from the US
government doesn’t tolerate affairs between mortals and vampires. McCain will
brave a new life in an internment camp for eternity from being contaminated
from sexual activity with a vampire and Torran will either be deported or face
execution without trial.
During his
investigation Torran begins to suspect there’s more than one cop killer or at
least for some reason the killer is doing his best to make everyone suspect
there is. About that same time he and his brother discover an additional
problem in their lives – their uncle. Neither have seen Le Fey Torran since he
turned them into vampires over a century ago. So why has he made an appearance
now?
NOTE: this might be ther exact end of the story beginning.
