I'm watching this video precisely because of this. I have the final plot twist of the mega overarching mystery lurking behind the story. But the problem is the story in itself doesn't exist lmao.
+Dhruv Gajjar This is just superb, been searching for "book on how to write a book" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Yonallie Bookworm Blitzer - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my colleague got excellent success with it.
I know that this is a 5 year old video now but I’ve just stumbled across it and I have to say there’s some great advice here. Particularly in having two outlines. I feel like I might be ready to start writing the mystery story I’ve had percolating in my head for the last ten years. Thanks, Rae!
You should read Agatha Christie's 1)Murder on the Orient express. 2) Death on the nile. 3) The murder of Roger ACROYD 4) The mysterious affair at Styles.
I'm not a big fan of Agatha, I just read "And there were none"" and it's impossible for you as a reader solve the cas bc she don't show nothing. When the conclusion comes it is the most unexpected thing, but not because you could find whodunnit, but because she said who is the murder. The idea is cool, but a murder mystery that your readers can't solve isn't really that good.
this is the first murder mystery advice that has actually helped me. people always say "you need to plan it out!!" and its like yeah obviously, but you actually explained HOW to plan it out in a very simple way so thank you
This is very helpful since I’ve just finished a day of school and asked my teacher if I could finish my work at home since i couldn’t figure out how to properly write the clues and make the suspects interesting this is amazing and I will use this all the time low thx
I'm "writing" a murder mystery for this year's NaNoWriMo. "Writing" because I wrote a paragraph on the 1st and haven't written anything else. But I have a lot of notes.
Regarding clues, murder mystery show Jonathan Creek with Alan Davies in the main role use clues very heavily. Clues are almost like their own characters sometimes. A pivotal clue is thrown in with fake clues all the time, often at the very start. And the show gives the audience a chance to figure it all out, Agatha Christie style, but muddles the water with side mysteries. The writers for that series create multiple mysteries for each film, so that a fake clue for the main plot can be a genuine or even pivotal clue for a side plot. Or it could be thrown away at the very end with a snarky remark like "who wouldn't put their gum under the table when they hear the teacher approaching?" or something like that. It is not a technique I would recommend for beginners, but it is a very interesting style you could use to confuse the audience the right way. No deus ex machina, red herrings still have relevance and the setting will feel more real when fake clues still have a story around them.
I am so impressed with you trying to write any sort of mystery in nano. I am doing a scify adventure this year and I hit 20k last night. On the whole it is going great but I'm stuck at the moment with how the goddess acts.
@@MistahUnknown probably rich people including the detective are invited to a dinner party. Then all of a sudden a murder occurs. The detective is already present who deduces the murderer after a lot of pages into the book. Something along the same lines I'spose.
@@aneeshupadhya3170 I think he means a game / event where the guests are players and clues are revealed to the party during dinner, players act out their roles and are given characters and clues to present to the group and eventually a murder is solved. Basically live action murder mystery roleplay.
If you're still interested in watching a murder mystery I would suggest any "Murder She Wrote" episode. I've been analyzing old episodes that I've watched before since I already know who the murderer is. It's helpful and I can see a little bit more behind what the murderer is doing because I'm paying more attention to him/her since I know that it's him. what little hints were left that he/she is the killer? How did Jessica put it together? It makes sense and it's fun to write up a synopsis for yourself to work look back at when you're writing.
This is interesting! I always enjoy a mystery element in a novel, so these are generally good tips. And good luck with your NaNo! I've been floundering the last few days (obvious reasons) but I'm trying hard to keep on writing. GOTTA MAKE THE STUFF.
@@aneeshupadhya3170 Really? Because I can't even find it online or in any library. I was only able to get it from some shady vendor in an alleyway, and he insisted very much that he didn't write it.
@@enzoqueijao where do u live? And how old are? That's the question. Because I'm really young and from where I come from, Agatha Christie books are really famous.
Oh wow, this sounds complicated (I am bad at planning). Also had to look up the word sleuth, thanks :) I am horribly behind, but that was to be expected as I am not very disciplined and my mind is preoccupied this week (job interview on Thursday), but I can still catch up, right? Right!
I'm just looking to make a short mystery to fit in with an over arching plot. But this is pretty helpful. I think I'll try to read some who done it's to get a better Idea of how these mysteries are structured.
This was actually very helpful. Thank you for that, as far as any recommendations. Obviously the Sherlock mysteries, anything by Agatha Christi. I'm on a Noir kick right now, so if you haven't read classic pulp fiction I suggest Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep. Its a classic that helped define the genre, quick read. Hope that helped!
Hi! Thank you so much for this video! I am a new viewer and I'm writing a murder mystery fantasy novel for the first time so this really helped! (Especially since I've only read one murder mystery) And I really like the comparison you made with the rubik's cube! Very true!
I'm a "pantser" that was a nano winner last year and is currently trying to write my second draft. Let me say pantsing a mystery has its *strengths* but holy Lord does it have its weaknesses! I think if you can be certain you will be an utter ninja in weaving all your tricksy little bits into a tricksy little tail it can work. I did kinda plan but as this is my first book AND a mystery I didn't quite get what a plan was and how it should be for a mystery in particular. I think there is a balance between pantsing and planning that is key to being an efficient mystery novelist which I am yet to find. What is hardest is keeping track of all the details--like how do you do that? So hard. I would love to see a video with more details on the two outlines as I am struggling here to make sure everything happens in the right order and to track the order everything (bit and tiny details) happened.
I am doing nanowrimo! My word count is on track right now because I got really ahead but I haven't touched it in a few days... gotta get back on that. (the election threw me into a bad place.) Honestly I feel like I'm not smart enough or good enough at plotting to write a mystery and I applaud you for doing it!
Really helpful! I've been trying to write murder mysteries for years now but I can never complete novels, only short stories - I think I get too confused by it all. Your "two outlines" tip sounds like it might make the world of difference! One of my favourite classic murder mysteries is "The Hollow" by Christie - the ending is such a great twist!
This was very helpful. I’m a pantser at heart so I find planning rather painful, but it’s the only thing that keeps my writing together. I’ll definitely be using the 2 outline tip. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the tips Rachael. I like that "have two (2) outlines. The book by Sue Heffer "Cinderella and the Dead Fella" is funny, even if it could be longer, and the characters name is...wait for it... Rachel but without an "A". Here's to finishing your Cozy mystery.
I'm planning(wow, ME, planning? That's a first) a murder mystery for camp nanowrimo. This video, even though it's three years old, is a great help! Thank you oh, so much!
One of my favorite murder mysteries involves a time traveler using modern forensics in the 1800's. (Unfortunately the book can be hard to find): Fire, Burn!
I have had this ieda murder mystery series of short storys i work in a charity store. I been trying on off again for years to write pefrect short story.
In my mystery the actual murderer is actually the detective and his assistant figures him out. This changes it a lot and I'm not really sure how to do it and also I'm wondeirng if I should write the murder in the very first chapter or put up some background info about some of the characters.
Anything by Agatha Christie is good, but also look at some of John LeCarre's spy novels (tinker tailor and spy who came in from the cold are good ones) as they use many of the elements of the mystery genre in terms of people hiding things and the context of clues changing.
Rae Sterling, did you come across the idea for two outlines in your research? If so, where did you find that information? I'm working on a cozy mystery and would love to see how the second outline is done!
Do you have a vid that elaborates further on the 2 outlines? Is there a certain way you structure it? I'm assuming the one the reader wouldn't see is longer? Do you work backwards from the end?
You said you'd be surprised to see a pantser writing a murder mystery, I am 18 writing my own horror/phycological thriller/murder mystery and I'm a pantser, so now you can be surprised 😯 great video, thanks!
Oh wow hopefully we will get to read this book :). If you need background stuff to watch or just a break I cannot put into words how good and clever Edgar Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party is (it is on RUclips). Not doing NoWroMo but know a few peeps who are. I am doing great (you may cringe at this next part but I promise all books are 2nd hand and none of them are vintage) currently using torn up bits of Frankenstein to make backgrounds for Pins.. and having fun playing with craft supplies to make them look older.
so my dilemma is that I got so intrigued and caught up in planning this murder that im not interested in the solving part of it dsjkfhdjkshfkjhkdfj :')) idk how to pace it either bc I want to spend a lot fo time explaining why the killers hate this person and what their plan is -and I've spent so long on the plan that I don't wanna poke holes in it aaa- but I also want to show a sleuth figuring it out so idk how to do that from a pacing perspective??? jdfjkdkfj
hi, its really hard to write a mystery novel! Plus my character ended up in a different town, with people she never met, so creating the connections between her and these new people so they could have motives to kill her is truly hard! Any tips?
If You Watch an Early Murder Mystery Series & Then Watch Another Series 5 or 10 Years Later You Can Pretty Much See The Same Type of Mystery With a Slight Variation Especially if The Writer's & Producers Are The Same?
very good murder mysteries are agatha Christie's books and also books like.. Arsenic for tea jolly foul play first class murder murder most unladylike all by Mrs Robin Stevens
i have an assignment, a personal project for school, i'm a sophomore, i can choose whatever i want, and i chose to write a murder mystery, really excited and nervous but i have 3 months to do it.
I was sitting in my lit class on day when I saw a poster for a Halloween writing contest I am going to do it but I need to know how to write a good murderer mystery so this has helped me a lot (if anyone wants to enter the contest is unsolved revert sentence counts Halloween 2021)
A lot of cool advice here! Everyone lying and the baddies ferreting while the goodie is trying to solve stuff :D Coool. I am gonna loathe this process though, not gonna lie, pantser through and through here.This will be a challenge.
Noun: a person who investigates crimes (Side note: This isn’t necessarily a detective or someone in law enforcement, just someone who is investigating the crime)
The Naturals series is really good, it’s based on a bunch of teenagers working for the FBI and solving cold cases before getting wrapped into a case they aren’t aloud to solve

Kai Singh YES
Me too. I got to do the play. I was Anthony Marston. I got to choke to death. It was quite fun 😂😂
Peter Parker rip, you died first :p
Yeah but I got to be there for the whole first act. I died at the end so it wasn’t like I was in it for 5 minutes. Still very fun
End of the first act
I never thought about having 2 outlines and my god that is such a genius move!

The Naturals series is really good, it’s based on a bunch of teenagers working for the FBI and solving cold cases before getting wrapped into a case they aren’t aloud to solve
i have read this book named ABCD murders hqve you
