Do not plot your Cozy Mystery in stone.

Plot it in Play-Doh.

A generous helping of the stuff.

Even the most meticulously planned whodunnits will require modeling room when they’re put down into words. The ability to plunk down an extra scene here or rip out a weak point there is essential to the Cozy craft.

Bottom line: A plot built on clay is a good thing.

Until tomorrow…
