So Far...

I'm happy that a reader has questions for me about the writing project I'm working on, however, I prefer questions be handled here on the blog, so this is what I have so far:

My main character is a specialist trying to develop new techniques in raising animals for food, when a strain of resistant bacteria kills thousands and its scope of contamination extends beyond tainted meat. Testing by the DoA on soil and water reveal negative results. Meanwhile, farmers slaughter cattle and dump the bodies in an attempt to void their herds of contaminates.

That's all I have just yet. I wanted to do something with my character taking action after her ideas were ignored, but I don't have a great plan for that. I wanted her to do something about the cattle slaughter, but I don't have that worked out yet. I'm just gonna go with whatever and see what happens. I don't have time to play around with details. Plus, excessive planning will slow my creativity down.

I made her husband an organic farmer and professor of agriculture, or professor of something like that, and I don't see him being fully supportive of illegal activities, but there's some sort of support there.

I want my character to get beaten by the cops and go to prison and have families protest her trial to blame her for trying to kill more people. Mothers holding signs of their dead children and telling her she is horrible for trying to spread the disease. In the end, I think she had the right idea and her suggestions will be followed with positive results, but she won't be credited with them. She'll be let out, her job will be gone and she'll go to work on her husband's farm, maybe.

Any thoughts?
