Give me a mystery - just a plain and simple one - a mystery which is diffidence and silence, a slim little bare-foot mystery: give me a mystery - just one!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like the unknown. I like mystery.
Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.
Mysteries always have the potential for interesting connections between the elements. I'm also most interested in the relationship between the characters. As in 'Masterpiece,' I'm trying to create characters who not only are solving a mystery but are solving the riddle of their own personal relationships.
I've always had an air of mystery.
Writing a mystery is more difficult than other kinds of books because a mystery has a certain framework that must be superimposed over the story.
The enduring appeal of mystery stories for all of us is that the world is a pretty confusing place. There's a lot of really unanswered things, and perhaps the scariest notion would be that there might not always be answers out there for us.
I would say that all short stories have mystery naturally built into them.
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.
I would love to write a mystery - a romantic, funny mystery.
