I,
along with millions of others Jews, celebrated the Jewish New Year. They are up
to 5777, though science has shown that the planet is billions of years old and
human history extends into millions of years.
I didn’t make any resolutions, but it occurred to me that some people
did – or should have.
We
all need to set goals, commit to them, reevaluate progress over time and then
seek renewed efforts to fulfill our promises. If one sets resolutions in early
October they likely will break them by January 1. Then they can go set
2017 New Year’s resolutions.
In
February, for the Chinese New Year, one can again make vows of change. We can
just keep trying throughout the year to stick to our goals and promises.
What
could writers vow to do better, more or less of, differently – or start
fresh? Here are some New Year’s
resolutions that could await you:
1.
A
promise to be better at making time available to write more.
2.
A
commitment to become a better writer, through trainings, practice, or other
means.
3.
A
vow to let others improve your content by editing your writings.
4.
A
promise to take an honest look at your writing career, and to assess what needs
improvement – and to make a plan of action.
5.
A
commitment to read the books of others and learn from other writers – not envy
them.
6.
To
commit to marketing and promoting your book or hiring someone to do so.
7.
To
promise to work at social media and investing time and resources to build your
brand online.
8.
A
vow to seek to publish your writing, whether it means getting a literary agent,
contacting publishers or pursuing self-publishing.
9.
To
promise to write books that help, educate, inspire, motivate, and/or entertain
readers.
10.
To
vow not to plagiarize, violate copyright laws, pirate, or diminish the creative
works of others.
You
may want to add to the list. That’s
fine. Set your own resolutions and do
your best to pursue them. It’s never too
late nor too often to set goals and turn your dreams and hopes into a wonderful
reality.
