Write that ending you envision. Write any scene that stands out in your mind. Keep writing different parts of the book that you may have imagined since you started dreaming up the book in the first place. You'll find yourself getting over writer's block real quick. (less)

Sometimes, their criticism isn't about the writing itself, but about how it ended or how a certain character changed over time. My first thought is, "Then, write your own book if you don't like what you read."

And that is the greatest thing about being a writer. We can create worlds and people from our imagination. There are no rules with that. We can go anywhere and have them do anything. If a critic doesn't like how our story ended or the fact that the "boy meets girl" scenario didn't turn out to their liking, that criticism doesn't matter to me. It's my world. I created it my way and the characters are my puppets to play with. (less)

Kanye West Jaw-dropping And Strange Grammy Humiliation Ritual

Of course, the Grammys are about entertainment and viewers should expect a high level of performance with celebrities vying for attention. Sometimes, they try to outdo each other and that means stepping on toes and throwing a few elbows to get their names in the headlines. But what Kanye West had his wife Bianca Censori do on the Red Carpet was way beyond that.
