Jesey, loved your story! And the title cracked me up.

Wonderactivist, how did the Live Audition go?

tarak, I totally blew it. Lost my glasses the day before and had to read dramatically for five minutes. I kept squinting and losing my place. Oh well, I have had plenty of breaks this year, I'll try next year--with glasses!

Yikes! I can't imagine even attempting to read without my glasses or contacts. Every experience is a learning experience, right?

Congrats to Ken, jeseymour and speirbhean!

I have a tiny brag. I did Camp Nanowrimo in April in combo with Blogging A-Z challenge. So what I did was a mini-mystery panster style and posted a piece of it everyday including a word for the letter of the day. Plus I had other people pick the word I was going to use which added to the challenge. It was fun as I had no idea what I was going to write until I sat down and did it.

So I made a recap page in case you want to read it, it's here. I did it with some of my Milk Carton Murders characters. It takes place before MCM so as not to ruin that story. Anyway, I'm happy with myself for finishing.
