  1. I LOVED no one leaves the castle. It’s genuinely unpredictable. I wish I could say exactly what I found so funny and unpredictable, but I don’t want to spoil it for others. I am an aspiring writer and I have already written a couple plays that were performed. How do you write a good murder mystery? Like how do you come up with all the clues? Do you have to write it in reverse order or something like that?

    PS, Are you going to write more Lilac mysteries? I loved it so much. I will send you some art I was making while listening to it.

    1. Thanks! Writing a good mystery is tough. I don’t write them in reverse, but I definitely do plan them out in advance, so that when I start writing, I already know the solution to the mystery and can plant the clues I want along the way. That’s what I’m doing right now as I write the Lilac’s next supersleuth outing! PS: Yes, please send your artwork!
