“Especially with what a ‘Wizard of Oz’ dork you are,’ Leslie laughed and continued flipping through her ‘Wicked: the Musical’ Playbill. “You know, when I was a kid, I thought the musical, ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,’ was actually, ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamboat.’”
“Well, considering they always hire a hottie for the role, that’s not too far off.” Susan replied.
“That’s the thing about ingenuous,” she continued. “By definition, they’re gonna be beautiful.”

(This is sort of true. I did think that it was dream boat and not dream coat, although I was more confused than pleased about my misconception. I had know idea why someone would write an entire musical about a gorgeous man. That just shows me the importance of clarity in writing and also reading carefully.

As a writer, I try to produce work that is logical and fun to follow. I’ve heard my most recent book described as a page-turner [which is a fantastic feeling, by the way]. But, one fallacy and the entire plot crumbles. So, we have to be careful never to contradict the universe we’ve established. World-building is never easy, but it’s oh so important.)
