So yesterday I was driving to work like I always do, but was struck with this thought: "Does this book have enough conflict?"

Answer: Nope. Nope it doesn't.

My lovely sister agreed with me, and said that right now this story is pretty much a romance. But I don't particularly do romance, thus sparking the creation of the Guild.

Now, I know that you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about here, and since everything is still so up in the air with where the story is and where it could go, I'll just breeze over the concept. I needed a reason for two siblings to be running for their lives (even though their lives really aren't in danger because that is impossible... more on that tidbit later on!) so if there's a secret order that is out to get them... ta-da! Conflict!

The protagonist's main goal is still rooted in romance, but the Guild is going to add a sense of urgency and drive the story forward better.
