I think it is easier to write a thriller...Hi Janet,<br />I think it is easier to write a thriller than a mystery. In a mystery you have to set up clues and introduce the suspects at the without giving the killer away.<br /><br />I am struggling with a 4th mystery using my detective from my earlier ones. So far I have not been able to work it out where the killer is not obvious. If I can't I will have to drop this book.<br /><br />As to writing suspense, the reason I think this is easier than writing a mystery is because you know the "bad guy" and why his after the "good guy" and all you have to do is make it suspenseful as to the protagonist geting himself free of the antagonist. That's a little brief of an explanation, but I don't want to go on for ever here.<br /><br />Thanks for reading my blog post.<br /><br />Richard BrawerRichard Brawerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111288532811139948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-49284737083058395582015-01-06T11:08:43.584-06:002015-01-06T11:08:43.584-06:00Thank you Mary and good luck with your sequel.

This one follows some of the themes of the first book, but somehow... it turned into a mystery -- which wasn't my original intent and is NOT my forte! So I'm grateful for discussions like this, which may help me get a much-needed grip on what I'm doing!Miki Thornburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159853406896364750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-3359641066099995852015-01-05T13:14:11.089-06:002015-01-05T13:14:11.089-06:00Thanks Palmaltas for reading my blog post.
