As some of you know, I am writing a sequel to Red. I've titled it ONE FALSE NOTE which absolutely fits Lee so well. The other main character, Gevan, is a professional ballet dancer. Am just curious if anyone on my list ever was a serious dance student, has suggestions for fics/biographies/whatever that would give me better insight to the inner world of dance, etc.
I have a book on the way that was written by Mikhael Baryshnikov (in my user pic) , and another one about him, plus PRODIGAL SON, about Edward Villella. Those three should help a great deal (plus what little I know of Rudolph Nureyev, as Nick and I learned via DANCER by Colum McCann. I am going to reread that very unusual but marvelous book.
All helpful, but nothing would be better than having someone who has been involved to ask questions. Probably not going to find anyone, I imagine...but hey, worth a shot, right? Other books would be good too.
I am having so much fun with this fic. (see previous post--that applies here) Am planning to go to the Ballet in March...dragging daughter with me.
N is still up. I am ready to go to bed, and he claims he is Not Tired! Right. Fine, I will go to bed, he can stay up. Let's see, it is 5 o'clock in Germany...
In any case, done with the handwritten edits, now must transfer all onto the 20k, then it is time for more WORD WARS!!!!!! :)

Date: 2009-02-06 05:00 am (UTC)Anyway--I haven't lost any patience at all. I loved the storm-dance...was just waiting (oh silly mystery brain of mine) for something tragic to happen, like--struck by lightening, dead, on stage--her partner collapses right before her eyes! Or all the audience is blown away! I loved that not one left.
Am still recovering from evil illness earlier this week and am too tired to watch anymore, so will enjoy the rest tomorrow, or over the weekend. I am sure I will watch it over and over again. My head is bursting with ways to enrich my story. Such inspiration!
LOL I have your email buried somewhere in my email but for the life of me could not remember. Figured this would work well enough. Now, to bed, read a little more of Prodigal Son (EV in my new user pic!), and lament that 5 days into Feb., I have not written a single word. This research (grin) will be well worth it.
