Talk with a Mystery Writer by Carlene Rae Dater

Starting a new year, starting a new blog - what could be better? I've created this blog for mystery mavins. Do you read them? Write them? Watch them on television or at the movies? Like to critique them? Let's talk about the wonderful world of mysteries!

Who am I? Well, I've been a writer for a long time, have published 250 pieces of short fiction and non-fiction as well as six books. Yes, the books all revolve around mystery - even my romance! Right now I'm in the final stages of writing a paranormal humorous mystery with a touch of romance. Sound like fun? I sure hope so. I've been so busy with the other aspects of my life that I haven't published a book in TWO YEARS!

So, let me know what you want to talk abut, write about or grip about. I enjoy the art of writing and try to write a minimum of 500 words a day - every day. Always remember, the best way to learn to write is.....to write! The diffference between a professional and an amature is persistance.
