My current project: MURDER IN THE MANSE (#1)

I'm working on a murder mystery, a young adult novel.  People who give advice about what a writer should post about in her blog, say that it's a good idea to tell about the characters in her novel--their backstories, maybe.  So, I thought I'd start with the backstory of the victim in the book I'm calling Murder in the Manse.  I was going to start with the victim, but I think I'll tell about the protagonist first.  Her name is Crystal, and she's 14 years old.

Hyatt's second idea is to blog about the backstory of the novel.  That's something I could definitely do, especially for the novel I'm currently working on because I wrote it all out, all 50,000 (plus) words of it for NANOWRIMO in 2009.  This novel begins almost exactly where the nano novel ended.  That was fun to do, and very helpful when I need to know more about characters that were featured in it that are going to come up in this current novel.  More of that later.  Right now, I'm just looking at Hyatt's list.  To see backstories of my novels, check the label: backstories.
