        Is it universal, culutral, moral?

        I'll bet it ends up maturation. All amatuer writers end up with maturation.

        More free advice for plot rendering.

        Chaperts 1-4 --- Chase the protagonist up a tree.

        Chapters 5-10 --- Throw rocks at the protagonist.

        Chapters 11-15 --- Get the protagonist down from the tree.

        Simple as Simon says.

        Extra free advice.

        Remember verbs are a writer's friend. Always look for exciting, descriptive, and most importantly, seldom used (new to the reader) action verbs.

        Considering your dilemma fucking, buggering, and sodomizing are right out.

        Um! Let us see? What new action verbs would best describe a pennis penetrating a male arse?

        Good luck with that.

            British Boxing News listed some clichés, among those

            A puncher’s chance,

            mostly used by TV-commentators to keep their audience from leaving the tellies, despite one boxer being totally outclassed.

              As for my signature, it is really not a mystery. It is from a novel I am writing, and is all I have so far.

              Do you like it?
              Ha! in this generation? better make sure the novel is shorter than the accompanying Cliff Notes. Here is a great idea for a character! Buster Shanus came from the coast of Scotland... the family settling in the hardscrabble streets of New York, noticed the Italians often dropped part of their last names... and so likewise did the Shanus clan go to the courts and remove the "S-H" from the family name...

                Calling Boxing the Sweet Science. Wasn't it Ring Larder who first coined the term. One stating to become a clique: "Defensively Responsible."

                  According to Wikipedia/Internet the term was coined in 1810 by Pierce Egan and in the 1950s, re- popularized by AJ Liebling, writer.

                      "That's when you give him the ole one-three:"

                      "One-three, what happened to the two?"

                      Oh! You get the two."
