Guest Post: 10 Reasons to Become a Murder Mystery Writer
By Lauren Carr



You tried writing erotica, but things went seriously wrong during research and now your husband is in traction. Now, he refuses to help you do research for that genre anymore, so you need to find a genre that is less dangerous.


OR--
You have a really bad boss, but you can’t quit your job, so the only option you have is to kill him. But you don’t want to go to jail because—
 you’ll miss too much work, 
and then you’ll get fired, in which case you might as well have quit your job instead of killing your boss. 
Therefore, you need to kill your boss and know how to get away with it. You have come up with the perfect murder.
After having committed the perfect murder, you have to brag about it!

But if you brag about it:
everyone will know you killed your boss,
and then you’ll go to jail, 
and then you’ll miss too much work, 
and get fired.
In which case, you might as well have quit your job instead of killing your boss. So, how do you brag about committing the perfect murder without getting caught? Become a mystery writer.


OR--
You want to be a detective, but your husband refuses to be married to a detective who will lure crazy revenge-seeking killers to your home because they will stain the carpet with blood and put bullet holes in the drywall. So, you’re murder mystery thinking is confined to your mind.


OR--
You’ve been hearing and seeing some strange things going on next door and you’ve been documenting it. Now that you’ve been going over your notes, you can see that this would make some really interesting reading!


OR--
You’re friend’s supposedly amicable divorce suddenly turned bad and you’re a really good friend. Really good friends don’t just help you move—they help you move the body. After all the research you’ve done to help her, why not publish it to help others?
OR--
You’re a psychopath, but the sight of blood and gore in real life makes you queasy. So you can only be a psychopath in your own mind.
You’re a psychopath, but you’re sane enough to know that if you act on it that you’ll go to jail & you don’t want to go to jail.


OR—

The economy is hurting everyone—even the mob—who has cut back on your hours as a paid assassin. So, you might as well put what you know to work in another forum—murder mystery writing.


OR--
Just in case your husband suddenly turns up missing, you need to a reasonable explanation for why you have been visiting all these strange websites.
