The only case I ever got was the Case of the Missing Garden Spade, and I couldn't crack it, and my mom found it two weeks later on her own...
*snorts with laughter*
It's a classic! I'm still laughing about it. I love your story idea - I can just see the princess tagging along as something to do. You can get all sorts of conflict happening if she suddenly decides to stop beause she's a princess and, well, she can do what she wants. And I shall not laugh at you over your paranoia, mostly because I share it myself. Good luck with your book. It sounds like it could be good fun.
I was interested to read about your way of writing. The idea of writing later, potentially more interesting, bits has often appealed to me but I rarely do it. But it is a good idea to know where you're going, so you can make things fit (as you said). I once read that Terry Pratchett usually tries to write his last scene first, so he knows wot to aim for. Makes perfect sense to me.
