Yay! Now that I have seen The Red Shoes, that makes more sense to me than it probably did when you first told me. Also, in my comment that got erased, I asked if you had seen or read Wicked, so--check! Question answered. I really love that musical, though I'm not fond of the book.

I hope your NaNo is going well. I am giddy, GIDDY with mine. I took today off, not really to write, I'm just getting burned out on work, but I thought I would at least get a lot of writing done. And then it was like pulling teeth, and pulling teeth, and pulling teeth, and of course once it turned midnight I was suddenly on a roll. I hate how I think best really late at night; it makes morning, already difficult for me, that much harder.

Go go go L go! I can't wait to read you story--both of them; I saw that you posted for the IWRY Marathon; I want to see what you did with it...
