  Draft Notes

  Questions for Kieran

  Draft Notes

  Here are some notes I made for this book. They may not make much sense to anyone except me, but you can get an impression of how the book was crafted.

  Book Two—

  Azazel has amnesia, and she encounters a strange new world. Perhaps she has been in a coma for several years, or else she has changed the world in several years.

  The book would be a bit of a departure, with the characters we love not appearing again until the end of the book?

  Azazel goes on a pilgrimage along with other new characters to find Jason, and when they do, he recognizes her. When he finds out what happened to her (that she lost her memory), he plucks her out of the crowd and sets her up as his paramour/consort, during which she uses her time to help the both of him and they get married or try to have children. Or she gets pregnant.

  But then, Kieran shows up, and is able to undo what he did with the grimoire and give her back her power and memories, at which time, she kills the baby and tries to kill Jason.

  Jason and Azazel fight like dogs and cats in a huge final showdown, during which Kieran is killed in the cross fire.

  They end up with guns to each other's heads, daring each other to pull the trigger. But then Jason reminds Azazel of something she taught him while she'd lost her memory, and she stops.

  Together, they use the grimoire to purge their powers, since they realize they've destroyed the world.

  Azazel stalks out of Jason's life, tugging his son along with her, and swears he'll never see either of them again. Jason crumples to the floor, sobbing and begging her to reconsider.

  THE END

  Possibility of journal entries from Kieran—or letters that he wrote to her beginning each chapter.

  Or first part from Kieran's POV??

  Several issues here:

  a-What do the new characters bring to the story and how will we write about them without getting bored? (Possibly begin with Azazel seeing Jason or intersperse her experiences with someone else's so that we have some idea of what's going on. After all, Azazel will not know she is Azazel, making things even stranger. Possibly, we hide this from the audience. Will they read if they don't know where the hell Azazel is??)

  b-What is that Azazel tells Jason that makes her stop trying to kill him?

  c-There should be some kind of main outside conflict to keep things going, like a threat from the OF or something.

  d-Can Jude please come back? I miss Jude.

  1st scene: Azazel and her new friend see Jason. He has a beard and scraggly, longish hair. Everyone is worshipping him like a God, because they are all drawn to him.

  Kieran has Azazel's powers now, and continues to use them. There are scenes from his point of view, which is also kind of a weird Azazel POV, because he has all her memories.

  Scene: Jason with Azazel. Az: I'm not who you think I am. She should have a new name.

  How do the flies factor in now?? LoftheF references, including perhaps a parallel Simon scene involving Kieran. I also want to reference Heart of Darkness. This means we're going to need heads on sticks. I'd say much more at this juncture, flies=death.

  "A continuous shower of small flies streamed upon the lamp, upon the cloth, upon our hands and faces. Suddenly the manager's boy put his insolent black head in the doorway, and said in a tone of scathing contempt:

  "'Mistah Kurtz -- he dead.' "

  This book is about Jason and Azazel being evil, but there's never much showing people being evil in books, because I wager being evil is about as boring as being good. No struggle, right?

  So, you have two options. One is to showcase Jason's struggle with good. The other is to create some kind of external struggle. Probably, we will do both.

  The external struggle with Az's powers is boring, because they're perfectly matched and so they just go back and forth.
