When Your Story Goes Awry by Janet Lane Walters #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #mystery #murder #researcher heroine #detective hero

 

What do you do when your story goes awry. Starting a new mystery series sounded like fun, especially when I had ideas for the first two books. These stories weren't quite cozy but they weren't police procedurals. I was hiping for a happy medium. The rough draft began easily and I wanted to hone in on the murder and the victim. There was a potential romance and a family sort of perhaps in the series.

Then, I wanted to complicate the mystery. The victim was dead but it turns out no one knows who he really was. That's when I went awry. Imagining all sorts of reasons for his not being known, the chapters became more far out and more confusing. I finally shook my head. This was not working. What now?

I've put this away for a month or two and returned to a completed rough draft of a story that I will finish in perhaps two or three months. Then I can go back and tackle The Horror Writer's Demise with fresh eyes and make the complications less strange and weave in the other elements,
