I have decided to start trying to write a novel.  I did not know how hard of a tasks this would be.
What type of novel are you wanting to write?
I am writing a detective novel.  It is kind of a throwback to those old detective noir stories I used to read.
Maybe try reading some famous detective fiction like Sherlock Holmes to help!
I love Sherlock Holmes!  Do you know when his novels first came out?
He first appeared in print in 1887.
Wow, that is really far back.  I guess his novels started the whole detective genre
Yes -  I think so too! Such a classic.
I really enjoy the Sherlock show on the BBC as well
Me too. I just wish there was more than 14 episodes!
