If you haven't found it yet, go over to http://change.gov/ and take a look around. I noticed today that the very bottom of the page has expanded significantly, with a section called "The Agenda" and a whole slew of categories. Civil rights, defense, economy, education, ethics, family, etc. Take a look -- you may find your interests there. Oh - it was added at the top, too. Right between Learn and American Moment.

And throughout the site, there are opportunities to tell your stories, to make suggestions, to comment. Kind of nice to see. Actually, I think it's a website about the American dream - and that's definitely nice to see.

Writing Excuses Season Two Episode Six: Endings

From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2008/11/16/writing-excuses-season-2-episode-6-endings/

Key points: endings should be satisfying -- fulfill your promises. Fulfill the expectations of the story, break the expectations of the formula. Gather up all the little plot ribbons and tie them in a bow. "I always do have my ending in mind when I start, but I don't always end up with the ending that I started with."

[Dan] we need a writing prompt. Here's a writing prompt. Take whatever you're working on right now, look at that ending that you've got planned, then think of two other potential endings for that same thing.
[Brandon] and then write all three of them.
