Friday, Dec. 8, from noon to 1:30 p.m., join a Connecticut mystery writer for a workshop on mystery writing: "Getting Started on Your Mystery Novel." Susan Froetschel, author of "Interruptions" and "Alaska Gray," has taught writing at Yale and journalism at Southern Connecticut State University. Any writer can get started on a mystery novel. Practical writing exercises will show how one tiny idea, expressed in a single paragraph, can lead to a novel; how setting and themes influence plot and characters, and how writers can create intriguing characters from the everyday world. The workshop will also offer plenty of tips on the process of writing.
