V = Have a Vision

Not too many writers know what it means to have a vision. And because of this, many writers don’t build their writing career with a vision. A vision is a mission or purpose statement. In other words, to determine your vision as a writer, you must decide several things. 1. Do you want to write fiction or nonfiction? 2. Do you want to write for kids, adolescents or adults? 3. Do you have expertise in a distinct area, such as psychology, education or philosophy? 4. Do you have a concern or problem you would like to address to make the world a better place? Take some time to answer these questions in your success journal. By doing so, you’ll be getting closer to determining your vision as a writer. This will also motivate you to keep writing and pursuing your vision as a writer. Try it! Irene S. Roth Author and Editor
