I need a bit of help
 

Okay for the life of me, I cannot remember the formula that our writing teacher gave us when I was in highschool. I graduated back in 2001... so yeah that was a few years ago.

Anyhow, I am kind of stuck in this story Im writing that I am going to have published and marketed.

Basically the story is about this woman named Amelia O'Connor that lives in Georgia. She's an office assistant for this magazine company/publishing company. Well the story evolves around her getting a mysterious package, where it leaves instructions on what to do with the items in question, and the items are artifacts from China. The instructions tell her that the author of the letter wants to meet her at the air port and would explain the details later.

Well that time comes and Amelia goes to the air port and discovers the guy is from China, and that guy just happens to be the Emperor's son in disguise.

So alot of stuff happens and theres a lot of dialog and character development going on between the chars, and basically to make a long story short, Amelia decides to help the guy because she discovers that she is related by blood to the royal family, but she has the key thats suppose to unlock this gate.

Well what the guy didnt tell Amelia is that they are really the bad guys and they are making the good guys look like the bad guys, and they are trying to unlock the gate to release some ancient monster that will supposedly destroy the world.

Later on in the story, Amelia gets kidnapped by the good guys and she thinks that they are the bad guys trying to kill her when really they are trying to warn her not to give them the key.



Anyhow, as the story unfolds, Im in the part of the story (most of its written by hand), where she just arrived at the palace and its the boring part of the story where plot development is occurring, and my problem I think is my story starts out action packed up until that point... and now its slow and Im stuck... like Im trying to describe the place and shes thinking shes with the good guys and she hasnt found out shes been deceived yet.
