Well, nothing new, but I accepted the offer of representation so, once the paperwork is all taken care of, I have an agent.

Always Anti-fascist!

novel is 171 pages today...don't really know how to build something so long...don't really want to do the usual things and say, beat up the detective, or drop another body, but still things need to happen in the second half...thoughts?

Is a murder being investigated? Some puzzling event? What is the problem that needs to be resolved? Perhaps your detective discovers that the problem is completely opposite what he thought it was.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What is your B plot? Like the detective is solving a mystery, but also has to deal with her BFF being unlawfully evicted, and she has to step in and finds something out about the Bff's landlord. Something which saves the friend AND maybe sheds light on the main mystery.
