Rewritten a scene today and deleted half of it. Somehow a new character just showed up in my head. Anyone else get their best ideas from their messy writing?

The cliffs look peaceful from afar. But peace of mind is a tricky thing to bottle — and some brews uncork more than calm. Now the road winds toward a mystery Myrtle never saw coming. #mysterybook #storyteaser #indieauthor #fantasywriting #amwriting #fantasystory #fantasymystery
