I sat up late last night and watched a Miss Marple mystery by the great mystery writer Agatha Christy.

I have been reading a lot about how to write mysteries lately as this had been out of my comfort zone.  I have a good plot but was interested in converting it into a who dun it instead of just showing and telling a good story.

After two days and nights away from my novel doing other stuff I got a new radical plot change idea for the supposed finished stage of my novel...this came from brainstorming how to make the story more of a mystery.

I then found myself anxious to write and wrote two hours of my work in the middle of the night and just now I will be obsessively writing for though till the end of the month as I work in this new plot change and even better story.:-)
