Writer's optimism (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hope

I believe this is a double definition.

'writer's' is the first definition.
(anthony hope)

'optimism' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for hope that I've seen before include "Longing" , "The last thing in Pandora's Box" , "Cherish a desire" , "It goes with faith and charity" , "Expect and wish" .)
