EXCERPT (Talent Quest, 50-word exercise):

The local agency called up Mary-Sue.

"You've won! You're going to be a star!"

She squealed with euphoria.

"You'll receive intensive training in singing, dancing, acting, and emceeing!"

"How famous will I be?" she asked.

"Don't worry. It's pretty girls like you that live what others can only dream of."
