Where does your inspiration come from when writing Mysteries? I'm sure I can find some that would say, “my biggest muse is my dreams”, others would say, “from my life of crime and my lack of courage to actually break the law” and others would say “from prompt books or Writing.Com contests like "The Writer's Cramp" ”. But why overlook a great source for inspiration... like your local headlines and news stories. Our favorite authors do it, our favorite crime and courtroom dramas do it and even Hollywood movies do it.
At the fear of giving my home location away I want to post a story that happened a few years ago but is still making the headlines here. This story was also used in an episode of Law And Order: SVU. The Pizza Bomber was supposedly a bank robbery gone horribly wrong. There was a lot more involved, including the decedent being more involved in the plot than actually being forced to wear the bomb and robbing the bank.
Here is the link to the latest story I found on the internet... http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=3361781&page=1
Are there other places to find a good Mysteries? You don't need to read the answer to know that inspiration can come from anywhere. A pair of shoes hanging from a telephone wire, a broken window in an abandoned storefront, or an incomplete note written on a napkin. How about in the middle of a birthday celebration and a Mystery Newsletter?
Here is a series of questions that should solve the mystery of being addicted to Writing.Com.
You might suffer from intense likeness of Writing.Com if the very moment you log onto any computer you find yourself at this website.
You might need addiction counseling if your use your Writing.Com user name and/or nickname in your offline life.
You might be addicted to Writing.Com if you find yourself reading more static items from your favorite WDC authors list then buying books from your favorite authors at Barnes and Nobles or other book stores.
I hope you peruse these following mystery stories that I have highlighted from the vastness of WDC talent.
Thank you,
