Tips For Writing Thriller/Mystery (featuring WritingMime!)

Hi! I did a second video today on my channel over writing Horror: • Video
I also wrote a blog explaining how I plot out mysteries and thrillers: writingmime.blogspot.com/2015/...

To summarize today’s video:
Tip One: Split your story into sections and make each section its own roller-coaster.
Tip Two: Create mystery by adding a well scattered secret.
Tip Three: Let the reader trust no one.

    Luna Lovegood doesn't have black eyebrows. Paid attention to the details and follow up on them. ;)

    That "secrets on a sheet of paper" was a really good/creative idea. I would have never thought of that! Helps a lot with thinking about how Mystery works!

    Thank you, WritingMime. I recently stumbled upon your videos. They're helping a ton. Esp the example with the cat and dogs. I'm going to try to weave a couple of secrets into my novel as such.

    This was a little incoherent. I think if you rewrote this and polished it it would hit a lot harder and i would learn more a lot more.
