Today I’m going to be genre-specific and talk a little about writing mysteries. Mysteries aren’t only my favorite genre to read, they’re my favorite to write, too. Hope you’ll join me on Roni Griffin’s Fiction Groupie blog to learn more about writing mysteries.

You’re always fun to follow, Elizabeth.
You should enjoy writing what you like to read!
Thanks for the reminders of writing mysteries and the “rules” that are involved. It is always important to have a check list so we know we have all the ingredients to a wonderful recipe: a good mystery novel!
Sounds great! Off to check it out
Nancy, from Realms of Thought…
Thanks Helen!
Alex–I totally agree!
Jonz–Checklists really come in handy because it’s easy to forget elements to a story…there are so many different parts to remember!
Thanks Nancy!

I am sure it is possible, but is it any fun writing a genre you don’t like to read. So happy for you that you are doing what you love doing.
