About This Newsletter

Happy New Year 2009
Making resolutions is a part of the New Year tradition, but it takes a writing plan to fulfill those resolutions.

Letter from the editor

According to tradition, the New Year is the time to make new resolutions and for new beginnings. Making resolutions and setting goals at the beginning of the year is easy. However, as the year ages those resolutions and goals go out the window, unless we have a plan for achieving those goals.

It is especially important for a writer to have a writing plan, with specific benchmarks to identify the steps taken toward achieving those goals of the writing plan. I am reevaluating my writing plan to determine what I have to change in order to achieve the goals of that plan.

The process I am using to reevaluate that plan is to look at each step as I take the step. This means that I have to change the plan as I go along when I find something that is not working rather then waiting for the beginning or ending of a year to change the plan. This makes the plan more dynamic and, sometimes, more difficult to work with. This is because I have to look at my own strengths and weakness rather then simply those of my writing plan.

The minimum item needed on a writing plan is word count. After word count, then the writer has to decide where to write. Sometimes this is determined for the writer by the writing environment itself. Things such as distractions and the location of the computer in the house will affect the when and where you write.

Happy Holidays.

gulshan kumar Author Icon writes: End of World has been described in Christian, Muslim and Hindu scriptures. It is Day of Judgment in christian, kayamat in muslim and pralaya in hindu scriptures. there is no scientific basis for forecasting end of world.
To me, it appears that nothing is predetermined. Hence there is no such thing as fate. If we take adequate steps to limit population, protect environment and forests and end the mad race of industrialization so that sufficient land is available for all- animals as well as forests- we have hope that the wprld will not end.
