"Revolution" often refers to activities against a state or leader or government, but the word can also be applied more figuratively, as when one speaks of a revolution in art.

Art is when you work your butts off and get nothing out of it.

Flares are very useful in an emergency, whether you're lost in the woods or have had a roadside accident.

Unicorns are extremely fastidious in their diets, but the dish they prize most highly is roast armadillo.

Country-fried armadillo is rather tasty - or so I've heard.

Genre publishers are extremely finicky about whether your manuscript fits neatly into a particular genre or not.

Not unless your manuscript fits their genre. Then they are rather happy. Like clowns.

Expectancy is a double-edged sword, because if you expect something good and it doesn't happen, you are disappointed, and if you expect something bad and it doesn't happen, you berate yourself for being such a pessimist.
