                    Scattered Scenes: A foreword.
                    ==========================

You know how things never turn out as you planned? In my case this 
started with a story called "Captured Caroline" which I started 
writing nearly three years ago. At that time "The Plan" was to publish
one section a week for a year, sort of a modern day Republic Serial 
complete with cliffhangers and unexpected dangers.

I was prepared, I had a timeline, character histories, a story arc. 
Hell I even had plans for two follow ups! Then life got very weird and
my job very demanding and so here I am three years later at chapter 
12. That gives me a finish date around 2012.

So I did a little reworking. The trouble is that I don't write 
linearly I write what I'm in the mood to write. In addition I 
sometimes write two or three versions of the same scene and choose the
most appropriate during editing.

Were possible I reuse this material but sometimes that just 
isn't possible as the plot has progressed too far.

End result: I have a hard disk full of plot fragments. That wouldn't 
be so bad if "Caroline" was the only story I was working on. 
Unfortunally there are others and the problem just multiplies.

Now I could publish the fragments and say "This is an alternative 
bathroom scene" or a "different kidnap sequence" but that would be a 
little unfair.

So here is "Scattered Scenes" Part 1. Bit's and pieces from Quin's 
cutting room floor strung together to make a self contained 
independent story. More will follow as the material builds back up.

Some of you may have fun trying to see where these bits originally 
came from. Some may like this story in it's own right. I look forward 
to your comments.
