Today I'm supposed to write down what questions I want the reader to have as they are reading the story.
Questions:
What is the result of his accident? Is there any noticable brain damage? (The physical affects will be explained early, but it will take a while before the character becomes aware of the other changes)
Can the Character get his girlfriend back? (resolved at the end when he decides he doesn't want her)
Can he stop the dragon? (resolved at the end when he doesn't stop the dragon)
Can he learn magic? (this question is introduced when he begins searching for a teacher after his meeting for newly handicapped persons support group and learns that magic might exist. In his fragile state, he believes it might and it might answer all of his problems. He gets a teacher, but that teacher teaches him nothing. He must steal the teachers information, and that put him on the road to knowledge)
Will the teacher get revenge? (The teacher starts chasing him and catches him eventually, putting a magical amulet on him which destroys his magical powers)
Can he get the amulet off? (The police eventually cut it off him)
Will he get his job or find some way to make money? Will he rob a bank? (When he steals the magical information, it is inside a bank, in a safety deposit box. He is sorely tempted to rob the bank then. He only finds a job, of sorts, at the very end. And it isn't one with what might be called a regular paycheck.)
Will he regain the body parts he has lost? (Not in this book)
These are the major story questions I can think of right now, although when I break this down into scenes, I hope to have many more questions, at least one major question per scene.
