Yes, I've had a murder, but the investigation has mostly been questioning witnesses (none, really) and suspects (lots) and I know I need some big action. I've been toying with different scenarios, and last night I had a lulu of a dream.
I was camping in the mountains, surrounded by big trees and lots of other people (similar location as in the book) and my grandson was working as cowboy with a bunch of other people. He and his fellow workers came to talk to me, have no idea what about.(Grandson is not a cowboy and nothing like this is in the manuscript.)
All of a sudden we heard a thundering noise and here comes a whole bunch of horses galloping towards and past us. Behind them was a huge bear also coming fast.
Some of the cowboys started running, and I shouted, "Don't run, you can't out run a bear!"
End of dream.
Now I wonder exactly what part of that I might be able to incorporate into the story.
I've written about bears before and there are plenty of them in the area I'm writing about.
Maybe I'll have another dream tonight that will give me some insight into how I should proceed.
Have you ever had a dream that you put into a story?

It would be very convenient if the next scenes for my manuscripts would appear to me in dreams each night!
