The problem with discovery writing.
I am a discovery writer. Not quite at the 'put characters on a rode and listen to them as the go down it' level but still pretty much a 'huh, I wonder what's going to happen next' writer.
Right now I'm at the point in one story where I need to reveal something and I have no idea, or too many ideas, what it is.
Basically the hero has been trying to figure out who is threatening a nanny and why. The answer is so the villains can replace her with an accomplice and kidnap the kids.
The hero dismissed the idea because her regular employers were on vacation. She didn't tell him about a temp job.
And I don't know who the kidnappees are. They aren't US citizens. They are probably arriving from overseas and their parents aren't inclined to call the cops or trust law enforcement. On the other hand they can't be so high risk that they would have protection.
I'm open to suggestions. For that matter I'm begging for them.
