Author Craft / how in the world do you look for someone?
« on: July 29, 2010, 06:03:36 PM »
er, no, not writing romance.

basically, without giving much away, a writer teams up with a disgruntled police rookie to look for a kidnapper before time runs out. writer, btw, knows the kidnapper enough (childhood "friend" and all, and he cooperates with the police along with the victim's daughter) to catch said kidnapper.

how do you look for someone who just disappeared? ideas?

I've had a few, and please tell me what else I missed?

1. ask around - question people who knows the criminal.
2. wait for the criminal to call again (he already called for ransom).
3. figure out the criminal's possible steps before he takes them (i.e., he may take the kidnappee to a place he knows that is secure and "safe" from the outside) (oh, and this is possible because the writer knows the kidnapper)

...any more ideas? thanks. :)

which is harder, a female author pulling off a male protagonist, or a male author pulling off a female protagonist?

 I'm trying to write something here, and I'm using a male protagonist (I'm.. er, female) so... I just thought I'd ask.
