Do Not Shun

“Somebody kills somebody to keep the secret.”

A brainstorming session that starts off with such an insipid line of blah really has no right to turn amazing. It truly doesn’t.

But it did.

I wrote that line on the top of a blank sheet of paper and somehow ended up with a doozy of a Cozy Mystery plot chin-high in rural Southern culture.

My linguist sleuth is going to love these “good” folks.

Bottom line: The writing process is inexplicable. Don’t shun bad starts.

Until tomorrow…
