Writing a Detective Novel

“You have reached the end of the course, I want to thank you for buying it. I have shared with you a lot of what I have learned on my way, I hope it serves you and that you have as much fun as I did. Now your own adventure begins… Make your detective story! As a final project, you will define the title, the timeline, and write the first scene of your crime novel. Remember that everything I have shared with you is only one way to do it, but you can take everything that works for you and adapt it to the way you work. When you start writing, forget about fear. Keep in mind that everything is a matter of practice, it may not come out the first time, but breathe, take some time and keep practicing until you write something with which you feel comfortable. If you have any questions during the course, you can use the forum to ask me the questions you want. Do not stop sharing your final project, in this way I will be able to give you feedback, I only ask you to be patient because it may take me a while to answer you. But while I propose that you read some of the projects of your classmates, if you have any advice to give them, do it in a response way. Let's learn together! Also, if what began as a final project for this course ends up becoming a published novel, feel free to tell me again. It's going to give me a lot to see how far you've come. I say goodbye for now, but see you soon in the forum.”
