5 things I wish I can write

1. Duality of human nature
The construct for this idea I have for the last couple of years but have never been able to expand it beyond the idea.

It primarily is a murder mystery where the protagonist needs to solve the mystery in the classic whodunit format.

The only difference is that instead of one there are two parallel stories from the point of view of the central character.

Both (or the same) of them meet different people during the course of the story, these characters would say the same lines but the difference would come from the lens from which the central character would view them.

For one people would be honest & well meaning and for the other (same) nothing but blatant liars. And each in his own way would be lead to the same truth.

I have also thought of the format of the book, one starts from page one and the other from the last page with the ending in the middle.

One story is would be on white pages and with black text and the other inthe reverse.

Conclusion of the same would be on a grey page.


2. Explain “Truth is a matter of imagination”.


3. Write a murder mystery about the murder of death


4. Write about nothing


5. Write a letter
