        Have you decided "who dun it" yet? - or are you waiting until the last page??
        Seriously, Good for you. I don't have the patience or the imagination to plot a book. Roughly how far through are you - half way?

            They say there's an author in everyone - I so envy the fact that you have given reign to yours! Keep it up! (Please may I proof read for you? )

            I'm contemplating Open University before my brain rots....don't know whether to do Italian, Creative Writing or Social History....or something else. The BH has settled on Geography, but not which type.

                    The title is often the hardest part (or so I hear). It also seems to be mandatory in crime novels to include a pun or clue in the title. So, here goes:-
                    One dark night, shadowy figures are seen struggling on the clifftop by a pair of lovers having an affair. During the struggle, one of the figures (male? female?) disappears over the cliff edge. The remaining figure, after a quick glance over the cliff, runs off, away from the lovers. Alarmed by what they've seen, they go to the spot and look down, there on the rocks below is a body.
                    They have a dilemma - do they report it and admit to why they were there, or do nothing.....
                    Meanwhile, the incoming tide lifts the body from the rocks and carries it out to sea.......

                    How close am I?

                      Did the butler do it?

                      I'm not sure I could tackle this kind of project so seriously well done, keep up the good work!
                      It sounds like you need to up the word count a bit though!
                      Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

                          That's a relief because I was going to tell everyone the ending!

                            I have been published both in poetry, short and full lengh stories and its a great thrill to see your work in print with your name on the 'By' line.

                              Wow, that's really slow!

                              I read much quicker than that.
