Letter from the editor

         Writing.Com is like a world map. There are roads leading to many places and small towns to stop at and explore. If you have marked your destination, it’s best to stay focused on the right way to go. Too many stops along the way could stifle your plans to arrive at the final destination.

         With many roads to choose from, how do you focus on the right one? To illustrate, the car you drive is your writing project, so which road are you going to take? There are many highways and bi-ways on the WdC world map, and with a little guidance, you can mark your destination with ease.

         The first thing you have to decide is which road you want to drive on. Some may want to stop at tea shop, but you might prefer a scenic park. Your focus would be to arrive at the final destination that works for you. To help you with your driving experience, check out a few places to mark on the map.
