ODDS AND ENDS
A line you would like to use: it all seemed so perfect on paper
A scene you would like to include: viewing a house decorated like that duboce triangle apartment my ex-husband and i looked before we found the place in the richmond
A concept you would like to explore: dream is destiny; house is a mirror of self
A cliche you would like to avoid: why avoid when you can twist for humor?
A character you would like to use: that realtor i almost used, the one whose hair looked fake
