preparation

Decide what you are going to write about; a whodunnit or a romantic chicklit story.

You whodunnit/thriller could start with a strange disappearance or unexplained murder.

Your chicklit could start with a surprise visit or mysterious person.

 

First, write a short outline. Include the following information for your story:

1. Who is the main character/suspect? And who else are involved?

2. What happened?

3. Where and when did it take place?

4. Which possible explanations are there for the whodunnit/which different scenarios are possible for the romantic story?
