My main genre is romance, but this was a submission for a contest and had to be a mystery. Difficult to set up and solve properly in under 2500 words! To me the story needs to be 'fleshed' out more (my husband says my motto is always 'More is Better') LOL. He wanted me to turn it into a full novel and I might. Let me know what you think.CHummelKornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862056292807754590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787182303829881328.post-12061125928521785082009-12-08T06:29:00.742-08:002009-12-08T06:29:00.742-08:00You have it finished?

I worked at our local library and read all the really good mysteries. By good, I mean ones that create questions, slowly reveal intricate twist and turns, interesting, likeable, and sometimes flamboyant characters, etc. Iris Johansen is one of my favorites, but I have a large number of others.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156307122420399897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787182303829881328.post-3952895724688352272009-12-07T20:01:25.683-08:002009-12-07T20:01:25.683-08:00Ruth,

If you really would like to read the remainder of the story, I am happy to forward it to you.CHummelKornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862056292807754590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787182303829881328.post-70390724874802508842009-12-07T19:34:48.489-08:002009-12-07T19:34:48.489-08:00Coni, This is captivating.

Hope to read more of the drama developing in this mystery.

The actual story is less than 2500 words. I agree, this is an 'instant' era we live in, which in many ways I feel is too bad. As for me writing about murder and negative people/actions, I have always been an observer of people and their natures. It has long intrigued me how humans can commit the random acts of violence portrayed in our news. I am an avid reader, including the mystery and thriller genres. While the majority of my writing is in romance (I am always a sucker for 'happily ever after') I love the mechanics of creating a mystery. This one was crafted for a contest and I will now either attempt to place it as a short story or flesh it out for a book. <br /><br />I so appreciate your responses to my postings. It's difficult to know if what one creates is good or bad. Honest opinions is all we have to go on. <br /><br />May you have Peace and Love during this Christmas Season. <br /><br />ConiCHummelKornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862056292807754590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787182303829881328.post-41247110656728232912009-12-07T03:07:08.658-08:002009-12-07T03:07:08.658-08:00It's hard to imagine you writing about murder ...It's hard to imagine you writing about murder and negative people/actions..But here it is, and it's good.<br /><br />I'll say ,however, something as a reader only, as I am no writer. If it's just the opening to the short story, then it's a bit too long. Remember, we live in the 'instant' era. Before starting to read (even a blog), people take a look first at the length of the piece.<br /><br />Good Luck with its publishing!DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.com
