[WiZ] Author of her own Demise

[WiZ]

A popular novelist kills off a key supporting character in her latest written work. She is then arrested. Why?

Caveat earlispoilor. OAATP rules apply.

[Doriana]

Does the way she kills off the character relevantly bear resemblance to a real-life killing?

[WiZ]

Does the way she kills off the character relevantly bear resemblance to a real-life killing? yes

[Balin]

Was the author guilty of the crime for which she was arrested?

[WiZ]

Was the author guilty of the crime for which she was arrested? yes

[GalFisk]

Does she write the fictional killing before the real murder? After? During?

[TDGperson]

Does the story involve details only the killer could have known?

[Earnest]

Did she want to experiment the same feelings as the described character does?

This was a supporting character, right? So it would not be Agatha Christie 'killing off' Hercule Poirot. Hastings, maybe? Though she did not 'kill him', simply married him off and wrote him pretty much out of the series.
Are the two things related at all? Did she 'kill off' the character, and was then arrested for, say, speeding?

[Doriana]

Just to make sure: Is her "latest written work" a novel? a short story? a confession? something published on the internet?

[trebor]

Was she the killer in the real-life scenario?

TDGPerson

Earnest

Did she want to experiment the same feelings as the described character does? no

Klondike Mary

This was a supporting character, right? right So it would not be Agatha Christie 'killing off' Hercule Poirot yes to the analogy, no to the specific example. Hastings, maybe? this level of detail is irrelevant, although the deceased could well have had the role/significance of Hastings Though she did not 'kill him', simply married him off and wrote him pretty much out of the series.

Subsequent question left unanswered as per OAATP rules.

[AlbatrossLover]

[WiZ]

[AlbatrossLover]

Was the book supposed to be nonfiction? An autobiography?

Was the book supposed to be nonfiction? An autobiography?

***** SPOILER *****

The written work was her autobiography.

Congratulations, AlbatrossLover on the solution. Another curious one; it was a simple question with a simple answer, but it didn't play out all that well. She's a hard road finding the perfect puzzle.
