   Since you're asking in relation to a WIP, are you preparing to show that   
   anything one wishes for can become a bit of a curse, and that the true   
   skill of life is the ability to navigate between misfortune and   
   catastrophe without being consumed by circumstance?   
      
   I'd probably wish for the ability to make up stories that I could then   
   write, I suspect that I wish for that anyway.  Material things are   
   barely worth thinking about (until the toilet overflows, the car breaks   
   down in a deserted area with no cell signal, etc).
