Thanks Andrea! I'm really excited about it until I think about the fact that some people get that in a couple days - then it's just humbling. But I'm happy with myself nonetheless! =)

REWARD!!!! STOLEN MUSE!!! REWARD UPON RETURN- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!! PLEASE, I DIDN'T WRITE AT ALL YESTERDAY!!!!
OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *rushes around, looking in every corner* Pan, here Pan!TOLI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *smoke comes out of ears*
We'll get him back, don't worry, Tink! *goes into hysterics*
(Oh, and thanks Dee!)
And mom's making me go to LegoLand...*sobs* WHY????
Maybe he was dropped off at LegoLand...no idea why...maybe Toli likes Legos...maybe you'll find him there...Nevermind.WHAT SHOULD WE DO??????????????????
Tink, I have Harry working on a search and rescue spell right now. Don't worry...we'll find him.*tells Harry to make a truth spell for Toli as well*
Hmm, everybody is naming their muses, maybe I should too...?Great job with the search and rescue party Andrea and Harry. Maybe we can form a mission to have a diversion and steal Pan back from Toli?
Shall I have Harry make a diversion spell too? :)
*tells Harry to add a diversion spell*
Thank you everyone for all your help! This is for Elaine, but check your cubical later, Andrea![image error]
WOW! Thanks a ton, Tink! You're giving out rewards even though we didn't find Pan. =D(You wanted to say something about The Cellist excerpt?)

Well, you helped me search. :D
Elaine wrote: "(You wanted to say something about The Cellist excerpt?)"Yes, thought it was very well done. I love the description. I'm a bit confused about the plot, but that's common with excerpts.
Thanks Tink! And thanks for reading one of my excerpts! =)As for the plot: Yes, it's not a plot that jumps out at you in the first sentence. It's going to take time to unfold.......secrets to be discovered......people to be murdered......choices to be made. :) Things that The Cellist involves:
1719 Italy, Juiliard, a Schizophrenic, a lost score, letters from no one, Bach, a Cello, and more! =)
