Sorry guys, but it was the first name that sprung to mind. At the moment in my book Tim is alive and well and is a geeky techy secret hacker/cracker. I am not sure if anything bad will come to him, I don't have plans but you never know if I get inspired.
So, as Tim is a programmer and network guru, and alive and well and currently helping police with an investigation by undeleting stuff and retrieving files etc from a victims computer....should he suddenly be offed?
Lets see the love (or hate) you have for Tim. Maybe the best idea will get in my book. And who knows, if it gets published after the rewrite....

Rather than just going after hiim scare him by offing his family members...start with a distant cousin, then his sibling and parents and finally his wife...you could make Tim a hero refusing to back down no matter what the cost. Of course he dies in the end but at least he shows courage under fire. Or he could turn out to be the killer...

I only killed Tim once. But then, this is my third year of being with this group. Last year, I only meant him to be a minor character, but he soon was right up there with the main mc. Not sure what he's going to end up doing in my story yet. He hasn't entered the scene yet. But he should be soon. Maybe part of a romance triangle in my story?
Need to add a bit of death in my story. Can't have shifter mystery withou some murder. :D

I didn't think the rule was to kill him, just to include him o.O
In my last year's novel he just kind of knocked on the door at some random point and my MMC went and told him to go away...
He has yet to appear this year...

I thought of a place to put Tim in but I'll keep him around lurking in the background just in case I may have need of him for future word counts!

do I really have to 'put Tim in' whos gonna know if I don't???
I actually am enjoying my story with the so far charactors named Nancy, Volar, Andrew, Tarin, Mary, Sarah, Justin, Eric, David, Jeanine, May,(so far) are those names are the ones that make my mind happy. I don't like the name Tim, my horrible actual neighbor is a man named Tim. I don't like the name Tim.
I am NOT going to 'put him in'

Tim is about to become my blame puppet. I actually hemmed and hawed over a name for a while then realized that Tim was available.
Nothing personal Tim!
He's also the first to die I thinks... Though that bit was not really planned

I don't know Tim, but I can easily incorporate an awesome death scene including Tim... If I get to it! Good Lord, I am so far behind for daily word count -- I'm slightly obsessive over this, hahaha!
Anyway... We'll see if Tim shows up. I will post the TIM excerpt if I write it later. <3

Speaking of the whole "Tim" rule... Where do I send my excerpt about Tim... Is that in a Nano-mail to Hero or an email to our ML's or what?
