What do you do when you discover a notable writer has already covered your plot?

I definitely say go ahead and write your book. There are so many similarities in books today, it is mind boggling. It really depends upon how you write it. You've read Mosley's book, so don't make ...

CRAFTING TWISTS AND DROPPING CLUES

Today I gave a mini version to the Las Vegas Quill Keepers of the workshop I'll be presenting at the Las Vegas Writers Conference in April 2010...in...where else? Las Vegas. The title is "Crafting Twists and Dropping Clues." It was very well received, so I can't wait to present it complete with Power Point and a short interactive workshop.

While preparing the presentation, I realized that one of my all-time favorite Twist and Clue movies was "The Usual Suspects." I revisited it and wow---did I… Continue

Hi Morgan. Thanks for the "friend" request, but I have to let you know I hardly ever go on Crimespace. Most of my "social networking" in on Face book. Now... are you there too?
I know there are a lot of cool authors here, but I don't actually write mysteries myself... just tell others about them! :o)
