That Watershed Moment

In talking with a few people, I realized that the title Watershed was confusing to them.  I decided to take today to explain a little about the title. 

Webster's gives two definitions for watershed:
1:  a region or area bounded peripherally by a divide and draining ultimately to a particular watercourse or body of water
2:  a crucial dividing point, line, or factor : turning point

The title of this book is taken from second definition.  As is revealed in the first few chapters of Watershed  the Master sees his actions as a turning point for humankind, and indeed they are.  The drastic changes that the shelter survivors go through in the book all stem from the watershed moments, the Master's blackout and subsequent terrors.

So there's the reason for the title.  Back to writing Chapter 4!

Thanks,
