commentary track - "Nine Rules for Living in a Broken World"

This, then, is the promised commentary on Nine Rules for Living in a Broken World, my International Blog Against Racism Week drabble set.

But I will try!

I probably shouldn't. BUT.

Would anyone like to roleplay letter-style Ann/Paula with me? Email or airmail, and I'd be willing to play either character.
