This is Part 4 of a 4 Part brainstorming process that will cover an entire novel idea that\u2019s set during December.<\/p>\n

This Creativity Post is the big reveal that all the others have been leading up to.<\/p>\n

The snowstorm (65<\/a>) has trapped all of the women (63<\/a>) and secrets have been revealed, mostly involving their relationship with Tanner (working name).<\/p>\n

He was killed in a car crash on New Year\u2019s Eve the previous year. His death left all the women wealthy.<\/p>\n

But now it\u2019s looking like his death wasn\u2019t an accident after all.<\/p>\n

This will (hopefully) come off as a shock reveal but it\u2019s only the first shoe to drop because as the women are dealing with this revelation, another one emerges that suggests they were all tricked to being there at the ski lodge which they find weird because it was snowboard chick\u2019s idea.<\/p>\n

But she would find out that she had been subtle manipulated herself to picking that spot in the first place.<\/p>\n

A blonde woman will appear to them, and she\u2019ll be a \u2018local\u2019 who has been seen in a separate scene with each of them doing Christmas shopping or admiring light displays, etc. Nothing suspicious and will seem like just another minor background character to enhance the setting.<\/p>\n

Instead, she\u2019ll be revealed as plotting revenge against all the women for over a year because she lost her family in a car accident because of Tanner.<\/p>\n

But not the one that killed Tanner.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the fake reveal.<\/p>\n

What happened to her family was months before that, during a rainy night.<\/p>\n

Her husband was supposed to see Tanner for a check on a device he had installed on him. This will be related to whatever business\/tech company that Tanner ran. I\u2019m leaning toward some kind of optic\/vision device (kind of futuristic) but could be heart related too.<\/p>\n

But instead of seeing him, Tanner cancelled on him because he wanted to meet his girlfriend (snowboard chick) early.<\/p>\n

Because of this cancellation, the device he had on him glitched out a day or two later during a stormy night and made him crash the van which killed him, their daughter, and the dog.<\/p>\n

Tanner\u2019s assistant is the one who called to cancel on the guy and ignored his concerns. Tanner\u2019s business partner lied about knowing potential defects they\u2019d been encountering and Tanner\u2019s lawyer helped him cover up any wrongdoing on his part.<\/p>\n

The blonde woman killed Tanner first with the car accident and has been plotting her revenge against the four women ever since. And she will stop at nothing to have it.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s the gist of the whole novel start to finish. Obviously, this is all surface level concept stuff here, as that\u2019s the point of Creativity Posts but I think there\u2019s enough material here to make a decent first draft.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just not sure how the ending of the novel will actually play out yet.<\/p>\n

MERRY CHRISTMAS<\/p>\n
