For people who want a quick and easy start to
writing a novel or novella (for National Novel Writing Month, for
example or impress that special someone), this provides a framework by
using an Agatha Christie novel as a basis plot and characters. By
keeping the plot premises and altering the rest, a difficult task is
made easier.
Did you ever want to write a novel, or even a novella, but the generation of a viable plot and the creation of characters and motives seem like an insurmountable task? Well, this little set of instructions can be an invaluable start. It analyzes the basics of Agatha Christie’s novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (her first Hercule Poirot novel, which now in public domain), and shows how you and amend, tweak, or change her characters, her overall plot, and the basic plot twist to create your own “new” novel. Set it in you’re a place of your choice and in any time in history, and you’ll have a novel you’ll be (more or less) proud to have written. (Source: http://englishtips.org)
