What’s happening in the mind of the murderer?

At last, the manuscript thus far is totally typed up! I have been reading through and making notes on the story and what scenes and details I plan to add and change in the next draft. Plus… I’m going even deeper into the logic behind the antagonist’s plotting.

Here’s what I cover in this week’s episode:

  • The silly ways we torment ourselves vs just getting things done.

  • How I’m feeling about the book upon this read-through.

  • A book I’ve just started reading that’s transforming my understanding of the killer’s mind.

  • Questions to ask to clarify how a killer thinks.

  • What steps I’ll take next
