One of my dear friends had a break up with a boyfriend that turned violent. She was home with her new beau and her old boyfriend broke in waving a baseball bat! She grabbed a frying pan as her new guy defended her and very nearly ended up in jail.
These are people with graduate degrees from Ivy League schools. Oy!
As an exercise:
Who would your main character be in this scenario? Would they be the victim, the aggressor or the defender? How would this altercation end for them? What if this happened to your character in the past? Would they tell anyone? How would it shape their attitude toward life and love?

Knock Knock...

I love a woman slinging a frying pan. She would be a contemporary Luci Arnez, and the fried eggs she was cooking when her old beau crashed in should end up on his puss. Runny yoke in the eye. Meanwhile, the new boyfriend grabs the bat and runs off to join the minor leagues leaving our heroine to fend for herself. After a night in the clink for aggravated assault our heroine writes a successful memoir entitled, "The Schmucks, Schlmiels and Sadists I Have Loved" followed by a book signing tour on the college circuit, where she meets Camille Paglia who beds her, after pronouncing her the next Colette. xxBJ
