Reply to comment by Narrow_Muscle9572 in [OT] Any tips on how to write a good mystery? by Xexotic_wolfX

Never thought I’d ever be interested in watching a Ted Ed video until now lol

I guess it just depends on the person. If it’s about something I don’t really care about, then I likely won’t be interested, like when I have to watch one in class at school or something. If it’s something I’m passionate about, like this, then I’d be a lot more interested.

I get that. I used to be the same.

Over the years I discovered that the more I learn, the more I want to learn. If you ever need book recommendations let me know.

I read everything I can get my hands on.

Another thing, get out of your comfort zone. If youre not a fan of history (for example) I know for a fact I got a book that will change that.

History has always been one of my least favorite subjects, but the mystery novel I have in mind is based on a historical event (at least the backstory behind it is), so I will definitely need to do a lot of research on that, which I plan to do. And since it’s tied to my project in a way, I’ll probably be a lot more interested, and will enjoy it a lot more than if it was required like for a class or something.

Also, I saw the message you sent me. I will definitely consider checking out your sub, though I don’t know when or if I’ll have time to do so, especially since it’s pretty late right now where I live, and I have a big day tomorrow, so I probably need to go to bed here soon. Thanks for the offer, though!
