Congrats Keith. Can’t wait

In a thriller, villains have a great ways to compensate and hide their deficiencies

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

Depends on the story but in Flat Out Lies, Ria had a job as cook in her early career and her culinary expertise sure came in handy down the line 🤣

Placing red herrings is tricky yet I find the best locations nearer to the beginning and up to the mid point to get the reader guessing

040

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

It’s fun to place red herrings yet they need to be authentic and done well. Still working on that 🤣

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

I like indirect, like with a mood or small experience that suggests something bigger is on its way

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

I did once and it got edited out but I think it was because I didn’t write it well enough. Am determined to try it again

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

Thanks Tobie. New wips are so much fun

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

Hi #ThrillsandChills…I write mysteries and thrillers. Am writing the soft messy early chapters a new WIP and thoroughly enjoying the ride

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Awesome to see you again 🥰

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Three short stories. Wow! Congrats

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

It’s good to have both to balance things out and stay positive

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

I’ve been taking workshops on line editing so am going to dig into that after my thousandth draft

120

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Yes, I write a first paragraph but leave that first line like XXXX. It’ll come later

220

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

I don’t craft the first line until I’ve written a full first draft. Then I go back and add it

120

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

How you work on multiple stories at once is awesome

140

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

This is fascinating approach

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Usually while I’m writing, am already noodling a new idea. I just play with it in my mind, hoping to hang on to it 🤣

270

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

I watch the story in my head to get it started. Let it rip, rewind, add details, change direction and once I can see it, I start writing

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Great question. In my creative days, I’d rather plan. Lazy days? Give me a good book

Karen Grose @kgrose.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Hi everyone. I’m Karen and I write mysteries and thrillers. Currently editing one right now. Slow, steady steps
