#WritersCoffeeClub 26 MacGuffins In truth, my favorite film with one was The Maltese Falcon). That said, I use them sparingly & to varying degrees, & they aren't totally irrelevant. I’ve also used them in various ways, but most often in stories with the most mystery. In-particular, in The Deadly Stroll, which is the most Hitchcockian & creepiest story I’ve ever written (outside Aramon Daughters, but for different reasons). They’re all spoilers, though. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #Writing
