Writing a Murder Mystery: 8 Ways to Make a Murderer by @woodwardkaren #repost
I’ve decided to try something new! As many of you know, I’m putting together a book on how to write a murder mystery. As part of that I’ve begun developing an example story, a traditional murder mystery with elements of a cozy.
When I sat down to write this blog post I had an idea: Why not take a deep dive into this material and try it out on my blog! I’ve been thinking about how to structure this and hit on the idea of doing a “theory” post—talk about an element of structure—followed by an example post—take the previous day's theory and use it to create an outline.
For example, this post gives 8 tips for creating a murderer. Next post I will step through each tip and use it to create the murderer. This is just the start, though. Over the next few weeks my plan is to develop an outline for a murder mystery I’m calling Murder at Meadowmead.
