I have no plans for a future Jemima Shore mystery, but would write one tomorrow if a good idea came to me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Maybe I will write a memoir, perhaps I'll do some essays, or maybe I will write a mystery story.
I would love to write a mystery - a romantic, funny mystery.
I don't have a plan for a story when I sit down to write. I would get quite bored carrying it out.
I never know what's going to happen in a novel. I don't have a plan or an outline.
Once I've discovered the story, I might restructure it, maybe move things around, set up a clue that something is going to happen later, but that happens much later in an editorial capacity.
I try to write something that would interest anybody and keep them turning the page. You must have a plot and good storyline.
I'm not really a plot writer - I'm more interested in the characters and sort of small events that propel the story forward.
I'm writing another novel and I know what I'm going to do after, which may be something more like this again, maybe some strange mixture of fiction and non-fiction.
Mysteries I read for fun, so I will probably never write one, for fear of spoiling the fun.
To write a good mystery you have to know where it will end before you can decide where it will begin... and I've always known where it will end.
