     Welcome.  Plotjuggler here.  In case you have been writing the same book for the longest time and it’s still not good enough, or it’s far from completion, have patience.  I’ve been working on (and playing with) the same novel for the past 22 years.

     I have two babies.  One is a 22-year-old spoiled brat I raised.  The other is this book that should have left home a long time ago.  RENDEZVOUS WITH A RUNAWAY.  The actual events occurred when I was 24.  It could be that I miss these characters so much that I continuously write about them, just to keep them dear to me.  But I don’t miss the trouble.  Even after all these years, there are aftershocks and occasionally, I still find myself glancing over the shoulder, or monitoring shadows in the middle of the day, or making a late night turn to clear my rear; all the while foolishly wondering if 1976 finally caught up with me.
     The runaway’s father had that certain look.  His eyes whispered, “I’m nobody’s toy.”  Just cohabitating in the same county with him was more effective than the strongest laxative.  Not only were he and his son out to get me, he took out a contract on me.  And by now, there are others in that family who may have heard the story, rekindled the grudge and wouldn’t mind helping me to an early expiration.  The incident was just that serious.
   I have many other stories under construction.  Five are real life drama that I have been blessed or cursed to remember.  I have posted close to 140 mini scenes (blogs) along with the first eight chapters to my runaway story on MySpace.com.  Search under the display name “plotjuggler”.  Enough about ME.  I wish I had the time and inclination to read everything from YOU. It’s not about US—but the WORDS.  May we keep our blinders off and our minds wide open.
