I've not seen #wicked movie yet but just the soundtrack version of Defying Gravity is so beautiful. Cynthia Erivo's vocals are utterly amazing. Combined with Arianna Grande it's fantastic. What talented singers. In awe.

On every platform there are odd men who follow, who I don't know and have no shared interests with. If you are part of the writing/ publishing community, hi, good to see you. Let's share book talk. But if you're just looking for women please jog on.
