Why Write Mysteries?
by Linda O. Johnston
The answer to that question, if
posed to most mystery writers, will probably yield a lot of answers.
Because I love to read mysteries,
is one of the primary ones, I suspect.
Some others?
Because I love to stump others
who read my work.
Because I enjoy creating smart,
creative protagonists--and bad guys, too.
Because I enjoy belonging to
organizations of mystery writers.
Because I have fun writing
mysteries--and editing and even re-reading my own work.
Because I like my publisher.
Because it's a challenge, and I
enjoy challenges.
Because I enjoy writing blog
posts about mysteries.
Because... well, those of us who
are active on this blog write mysteries for Midnight Ink, of course. Some of you
might identify with what I've already said.
Others might have a lot more ideas of your own about what spurred you to
start writing mysteries.
But one that probably all will
identify with? Because it's who I am and
what I love.
