I am Miss Georgina V. Whinybutt. 3K to 110K on this book. I should be able to do 3K standing on my head. Instead I’m slogging around goofing off trying to figure out how the hell to make the end of the book work (it USED to work, but it’s gotten Much More Complicated Now) and grumpy at myself for making a main character who can only come out at night (never. ever. again.), and it’s starting to look like the way to make the end work is to go…

Well! To my complete astonishment, Lewis the blond kid finally turned it on in the very very last song. He and Lee (who’s the pro who’s been doing understudying for several years) did a performance of “Oh What A Circus” from Evita, and it was the first time I believed in Lewis’s performance. It made me sit there and try to think if he’d done any other musical theatre songs, and I don’t think he did. It may be that he really is a musical theatre performer. (I just checked.…
