| Introduction | Thank you for allowing me to share with you my pleasant little hodgepodge of fancies! For I certainly feel that it's pleasant to contemplate Shakespeare humor and character drama on one side of your brain and hum "Stardust" on another. I delight in my brown hen's green eggs and ideas appearing like planets at twilight in the black notebook. Fairy tales and myths have their place, there's no denying it, and it's not wrong to enjoy history as one adventurous epic tale, is it? I revel in bright sunshine falling on the carpet and fierce storms causing the very trees to wave to and fro like seaweed. I wonder why my sewing machine insists on doing something wrong nearly every time I use it, and contemplate the magical twists and turns of story plots. Would you like to enjoy all of this with me? |

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
Praying for humility! Then giving a large portion of the money to a charity and keeping myself busy with writing another hit musical.
