I really hope no one looks at my Google Search history for the past week.

See,  I’ve been struggling for the past week with Chapter 26 of Genie Memories. This is when the heroes put together their plan to bring down the enemy and reveal the truth!  It is also the chapter where I’ve beaten my head against just about every hard surface in my house because the damned thing just wasn’t working.

Believe it or not, it’s incredibly difficult to plan a raid A – on a building that doesn’t exist and B – without having any real military experience.

In the end, I opted to use the Target Center as my model.  Why not?  The event does take place in Minneapolis and the Target Center is close enough to the location.  So time to do some research.

So up goes Google and in goes the search criteria : Target Center, blueprints, diagrams, nearby police stations, terrorist attacks, security systems, maps, layout, pictures, events, etc. You get the idea – everything one might need to stage a raid on a large convention center.

It wasn’t until afterward I realized how bad that might look.  Whoops.  I’ll keep my nose clean for the next couple of weeks (i.e. – no going on rampages at work).

And the worst part?  I decided to throw away the chapter.

Why?

Simple, really.  Actually Steph put it best – “Just show them executing the plan.”  So that’s what I’m going to do.
