perspective and characters

In writing the crime scene I realized something. The reason I don't like what I've written is because I don't like crime scenes. Every other mystery novel or television show spend an inordinate amount of time talking about the crime scene. Its all about the detectives and entourage attempting to look for clues and scrape DNA or fingerprints off of tree bark or a slice of bologna or what not. Its not my thing. I don't watch that on TV or read about it in books, so what in the world am I doing trying to write about it? I did. I wrote the crime scene but didn't like any part of it. The only part I liked in the chapter was the part about the spectators looking on. There is a murder though. I have to write about it or else my characters won't be able to do all things I have them doing.
I lamented all this to Charlie.
We discussed it all.Where I was going with my novel and what I was trying to say with it. Why I was writing this novel this way. Why I think it is important and relevant. I'm not writing just to be writing. Of course I want to entertain; but I have something to say and I want to say it in a unique way.
So Charlie says "write the scene from the perspective of the spectators you enjoyed writing."
Of course!!!!! Perfect solution. Exactly how I want to write it. Sometimes it really helps to talk over your novel with someone who encourages you to work upside down and backwards.
