Reflection

Overall, I have really enjoyed the personal odyssey experience. That fact that I was able to "dive deeper" into a subject I find interesting. I have learned a lot about mystery writing and how it translates to television and movies. Suspense has a lot to do with ensuring that the viewer is "drawn into" what he or she is watching. I have noticed that the best authors are able to keep their short stories strait and to the point with just the right amount of twists and turns. From this experience I want to take away a better knowledge of the mystery genre as well as the skills to write my own suspense/mystery story.
