 #WritersCoffeeClub Sept 26: Have you used a MacGuffin in your writing? Be honest.

I don't think I have in any  of my current Ruby Jones work. I maaaay have something of that description in the next Sussuran Chronicles book, but I kind of hope that by the time I come to write it I will have given the thing a decent in-world reason to exist beyond 'it's gonna make my MCs switch bodies'. At the moment, yeah, it's a MacGuffin.
