Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes was created in 1887, and for over one hundred years generations of fans have loved him. We’ve read his books. We’ve watched his movies, and we’ve seen how people reimagined him.

Today let’s look at some of his most famous quotes.

“My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people do not know.” The Adventures of the Blue Carbuncle

And this might be one of my favorite quotes:

“Only one important thing has happened in the last three days, and that is that nothing has happened.” The Adventure of the Second Stain.

November 1 is the beginning of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). It’s fun and exhausting, and it’s a great way to get your story written. The goal is 50,000 words in thirty days. To make your goal, you need an understanding family. Because they may come home at night and feel like nothing has happened. And really, who has time to focus on mundane things when you’re in your writing cave for NaNoWriMo?

If you’re also participating, look for me on the NaNoWriMo site. We can cheer each other on.

I’ll be writing The Con, the second book in An Organized Crime Cozy Mystery series. Happy November!
