I've spent this week doing research for the new novel. I'm checking up on police procedures at the moment to ensure I don't make my Detective Inspector do something completely ridiculous from a police point of view. The first part of the week I spent researching the 'twist' to my story and as I'm keeping that under wraps for now I can't exactly tell you anything about it.

Isn't that annoying? I'm sounding just like the person who rushes up to you and says, "OMG, I've just heard the most amazing gossip" and when you ask what, they respond with; "I can't tell you."

I hate that. Why bother mentioning it then? It's the same when someone writes an attention-seeking post on Facebook where they just put something like, "Sigh" or "Currently at the hospital" and leave it at that; waiting for friends to rush in with a concerned comment. Why don't they just write what's actually going on, like, "Feeling a bit low today" or "At hospital, don't panic; I slipped while vacuuming naked again. Just waiting for the nurse to get her forceps."

I'm only really keeping the 'twist' secret at the moment because I haven't written the book yet and there might be someone else out there who likes the idea and can write quicker than I can.

It's also still secret because the sibling of 'I can't tell you' from above hasn't been told. We all know who that person is.
"I'm not meant to tell anyone but..."
