That Victorian house for your mystery setting sure looks fun and cozy! May I ask about what colors it is and what plants are growing around it garden-wise?

Thank you for the interest. I haven't completely nailed down a color scheme but I imagine something neutral like a cream or light green with green trim or blue trim with the cream. The idea is to let the flowers shine. The MC's aunt is part of the local Rose Society. It's members make up the fun, quirky side characters that inevitably end up suspects in the murder. They all are garden enthusiasts and have spectacular rose gardens.

I want there to be all kinds of roses, climing rose bushes going up trellises on the side of the house, shrubs along the side of the house, etc. All the kinds with beautiful names and specific hybrids the characters have grown. There will also be companion plants like lavender and rosemary. I'm having fun figuring it all out.

Orienteering: Here’s a rough sketch of MCs home where she lives with her aunt. It’s also the scene of the crime!

Camp Tolkien: Day 2

Welcome to another day at Camp Tolkien!

Our two-week summer camp is a chance for you to work on the project of your choice in the company of other writers. No matter which stage of the process you're in--brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising--Camp Tolkien's activities are here to help you make progress. Bring along your projects, and have fun!

Today's four activities are listed below. Choose whichever one you wish--choose more than one if you want to.

Orienteering: Draw a map of a location in your project--a building, a neighborhood, a town, a world, whatever you wish. Note that does not have to be an accurate map--it could be a certain character's perception of their surroundings, it could be biased, it could be more about artistry than facts, it could just be a napkin scribble if you want.

Painting: Write a detailed description of at least one character in your project.

Scavenger hunt: Incorporate the following five words in whatever you write for your project: friend, tree, march, red, finish. Alternately, find as many of those words as you can in what you already have written for your project, and share each sentence.

Rock climbing: Set a timer for thirty minutes and try to finish as much of a draft of a scene as you can in that time.

When you're finished, reblog or reply to this post, telling us how it went, and/or sharing what you wrote for the day.

Have fun, go forth, and create!

Camp Tolkien: Day One

Ice breaker and Photography

I'm working on a cozy mystery set in a small town where Layla Mae Lawson discovers that the storybook creatures that populated her childhood might actually be real. When a visiting journalist dies at a garden party hosted by her aunt, Layla is sure it is murder... and we're off!

Throw in some adorable corgis, a fiesty pixie, and a mysterious handsome stranger with a connection to her aunt and we have all the ingredients for a fun little mystery. (I hope)
