What is crime?

A crime is an illegal activity. A crime is something someone commits that is an offense to the law. A crime is a robbery, a murder, assault, kidnapping, etc.

It's not good.

So. How does one commit a crime?

I'll tell you how, but only the skeleton of it. The rest you're going to have to figure out on your own. You can't expect me to do all the work, can you? No, of course not.

Step One.

Plan the crime before you do anything else.

Step Two.

Now - Wait, what? What do you mean you don't know how to plan the crime? What are you even doing with your life if you can't even figure this part out on your own?

Alright, come on...

Let's start back at the basics, shall we?

A mystery is a puzzle, a riddle. Maybe a secret or a problem. A mystery is something of the unknown. The only way to solve said riddle, puzzle, problem, whatever is to ask yourself basic questions.

Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How.

Yes, I'm bringing you straight back to elementary school. The only difference is that we're not trying to write an essay from analyzing a book. No, we're going much darker than that. We're adults now.

Who

"Who" refers to people, the characters of the story. Each character has to have something to do with the crime whether they like it or not. Are they a witness? A victim? An investigator? A suspect? Maybe they're just there to throw the investigator off the trail and take the reader along with them.

Once your have your characters lined up in a row, give them each a job.

-Who are the victims?
-Who are the culprits?
-Who are the witnesses?
-Who are the suspects?
-Who are the accomplices?
-Who are the investigators?
-Who discovered the crime(s)?
