I've done poorly. I've accomplished 3 pages. My story is about a young woman who at the age of 16-17, watched 3 gang members break into her home and kill her parents. She flees to uncle's house and is still there two years later. During this time she's learned karate and earned the black belt. Her uncle, although an American, taught her everything he learned in the Army Special Forces. He also taught her how to kill a man with one jab.
I was stuck here. then i signed in earlier and reread the comment someone made about when stuck have a man with a gun enter. The first time i read it, it didn't do anything for me, but tonight, stuck as i was, it seemed the right thing to do so i went into my file and wrote a scene. The heroine is standing before the full length mirror in the hall way when the front door bursts open as it did the night her parents died. Two gang members stand there one with gun one with knife. uncle sits on sofa. gunman tells heroine she must go with them. She recognizes him as one who killed parents. uncle stands up and gets hit with gun, not shot just knocked out. Knife man goes toward heroine and she does that step to one side, trip, grab wrist of knife hand deal and now she's holding knife to man's throat asking what if i don't go and gunman says we kill you. seemingly in one motion she slices knifeman's throat and moves to jump and karate kick the gunman. a slice there and both men lay dead. uncle helps heroine dispose of bodies.
i know she has to mingle with the gang without them knowing her, but to get her in there is a stumper to me. how do i infiltrate the gang and kill the other two men responsible for parents' death? what kind of events am i looking at here? what's possibly going to happen before they realize who she is?
