know business man, and the head cheer leader who is now a small time reporter working for a local newspaper. She has been given the assignment of doing a story on the success of the hero. He has just moved back home for a large development project. The hero can't wait to finally get his revenge on the small time heroine reporter who humiliated him for the last time. The sixth plot is a really gem, the mistaken identity. In a mistaken identity story the heroine is mistaken for some one else, usually the mistaken person is wanted dead by one group or another and needs to be put in protective custody. Another take on this plot in number seven the woman in jeopardy, in this story the lady in question more then likely has an enemy who would benefit from her timely disappearance. For example the heroine is the only living witness to a murder by a big time mobster. The last plot is one of my favorite's is the dad next door, the heroine moves in to a nice town. She has a great new job and she plans a new life. Her son is in grade 5 and is upset that his dad is gone, ran off with a younger lady. The heroine and her boy move into a great house, and living next door, is one great looking single man. These eight plots are my favorite tricks when I am staring at the first blank page of a new book. They always seem to help me get a good story moving.
