Missed your videos- and this one was amazing! I loved the editing style and how you clearly defined and broke down the elements of this story. Looking forward to more!
It’s very hard to begin. I suggest beginning in one of two places: figure out who your sleuth is, and how he’ll change for the better by solving a mystery. Or, figure out your villain, victim, and the motive linking them together.
This is a really great video! I dont have much time to read but I want to learn more about ways to write a detective story and these videos are amazing for that!
Did they have the technology to prove it was the victim's blood? Does the chemical cross react with other substances? Or is this one of those that the murderer just confesses when confronted with weak evidence?
@janekalmes So it's good as long as the viewers don't think too much :) . haven't watched Murdock. Hard to believe anything is on 17 seasons. May be I should be glad Psych and Monk ended after 8 seasons; watching Midsomer murders now and it, like Columbo and Murder She Wrote, has become predictable. And they lack the fun Psych and Monk.
@@johnzzhu Murdock Mysteries is good in a historical/science theme way. The characters are interesting enough, maybe not as funny as Psych. Still need to watch Monk. It’s got to be hard to write that many murder mystery plots without getting formulaic. Even Agatha Christie ended up recycling plots, characters and actions.

Thanks so much, Ke Bu!
Great video, Jane! That's one of my favorite Murdoch episodes!
Thanks, Amanda!
Thank you so much for everything you do!! I would be in a pit of writers block being drowned in research if it weren’t for your videos ❤
Happy to help!
Hi Jane, another great video! I am just seeing this and ran straight to Murdoch Mysteries for this episode. Jane you are brilliant!!!!!
Great videos! Seriously. As good as 100k channels. 💜 And I am inspired to work on my writing!
Welcome back! Great video!
Thanks, Judy! I'm so glad to be back!
I've been wanting to write a mystery novel for a couple of years now but have no idea where to begin. It's so daunting starting with a blank doc

@janekalmes Thanks Jane. Great ideas. And your channel is a great resource. Appreciate all you do
And Jane said a couple of weeks ago, she'd be restarting her course :-)
Great video! Big help because I am working on my clue placement. It's a bit of a labor, but it's a labor of love.
Great to hear!

Finally after a longtime.... Welcome back... Now when will the live sessions come?
Glad to be back! I'm not sure when I'll have time to schedule lives again.
Did they have the technology to prove it was the victim's blood? Does the chemical cross react with other substances? Or is this one of those that the murderer just confesses when confronted with weak evidence?
To be honest, even the luminescing chemical that proves the presence of blood is anachronistic--but that's a typical Murdoch trope.

@pnwlady it's one thing to recycle characters and traits. It's another to leave such obvious plot holes.

Back atcha!
Is it weird that no one has an English accent?
They're actually Canadian. :-)
