“Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.” ― Seth Godin, Poke the Box
My journey as a mystery fiction writer began with an adult education course. That’s where I learned storytelling basics and met people who would end up forming my first writers group.
While I was in the process of writing my first novel, I happened to find a book called How to Write Killer Fiction by Carolyn Wheat. This spelled out the characteristics of a mystery story versus a suspense or thriller story.
This video is the first in a series I’m doing on writing tips for prose fiction vs. screenwriting.
Coming soon, I’ll be launching my online course on plotting fiction. The course will be on Udemy.
I hope to launch the course by Oct. 20, so keep an eye out for that.
