Would You Write a Mystery?
On my Facebook page I asked for post suggestions. This brought a hypothetical question I haven't considered much.
Today's Topic: Would you ever write a mystery novel and if so, how would you go about it?
My Answer: Well, as I said, I haven't thought about it much. But as a writer I try to be versatile, a master of many fiction genres, including mystery. I've even attempted it in short story form. However, I have serious criticism of the attempt. The idea felt cliché and the characters lacked depth. It would likely require serious modification of my approach. It would need outlining and planning. I would want to know well in advance who done and how. Maybe some time I'll give it a whirl. But, it could only happen with a truly unique story a story that would make an entirely new mark on the genre. A story to make mystery my own.
