MOMENT'S QUOTE( s )
If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.
~ Toni Morrison

Sit down, and put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it.
~ Colette, Casual Chance, 1964

 WEEKLY TERM
O. HENRY ENDING - an unexpected and unprepared-for turn of events. It usually does not work well with foreshadowing. The term comes from the short stories of O. Henry (William Sidney Porter). Note that an O. Henry ending is usually a positive term of praise for the author's cleverness. This is the opposite sentiment from a deus ex machina ending, in which the unexpected ending strikes the audience as artificial, arbitrary, or unartful. 		WELCOME
