You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
Favourite literary heroine: Scarlett O'Hara. She evolved from a ditzy Southern belle to become one strong woman. A survivor who was mainly responsible for the welfare of her extended family. Fatal flaw was to pine for Ashley, a man that she could never have in the true tradition of romantic love.
