I myself, as Im writing, dont know who did it. The readers and I are on the same ground. When I start to write a story, I dont know the conclusion at all and I dont know whats going to happen next. If there is a murder case as the first thing, I dont know who the killer is. I write the book because I would like to find out. If I know who the killer is, theres no purpose to writing the story.
