RIP
Michael Crichton was one of the only modern novelists to have a lot of success with single-word titles. He passed away today, so to commemorate his memory we have a one-word title for this parting post.

Occasionally, an author will breathlessly offer some revelation about a character’s origin. (Luke and Leia are siblings! Sylar is actually a Petrelli! That mysterious old man is actually a god!) Secret origin stories are rarely effective. If you’re doing a secret origin, here are the biggest potential concerns. If you can avoid these, I think the secret has promise.
