Hey YWS-buddies.

Liking the new YWS, aren't you?

Alright, so you must have heard people declaring the things they'll like to change about themselves or add in to their lives on New Year. But as a writer's community lets do things a bit differently.

We will have our resolutions but you've got to think and write a resolution you'd like to make regarding your writing. Anything you wish to write, something you wish you'd never to or of course the oath of completing a novel this year. Anything related to writing.

So take over guys and write what your WRITING RESOLUTION is going to be. :wink:

P.S. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cheers to YWS:Apollo

To begin with, I'd like to speak first.

My writing resolution for the new year, 2012 is to not 'force write'. That's a term for when you''re in no mood to write, but a bug keeps on yelling and forcing you to write. It has happened with me many times when I write not because I want to but because I feel I need to.

So no more 'force writing'. I'll not torture my writing soul. xD!

Well...

Mostly I'd like to focus my dabblings in poetry this year. I'm tired of feeling my poetic side being so muffled by my fear of writing terrible poetry. xD

Secondly, I'd like to --for once-- finish a story I start! Maybe participate in NaNo. I shall crush NaNo with my mad story writing skills by the end of 2012.

I suppose there's not much else I wish to resolve as far as my writing habits. c:
Paul is my little, evil, yellow bundle of joy.

--To finish my current project.

--To write two short stories a month after my June exams. That should be about twelve before the year's end; 12+2012. :D

--And to quote SmylinG and former-Lav, I need to work on my poetry so much more.

To finish at least one full-length novel.

psychopaths and mystery writers.

I'm the kind that pays better.

To write the crappiest romance novel I can.

To delve myself completely into short story writing and maybe even tread the waters of writing a novel. And maybe try experimenting more with poetry and applying more technique and style into my poems.
It's not about the weight of what's spoken.
It's about being heard.

my resolution iz 2 b publ!shed cuz im s0 amazin @ writin nd im even better @ gramma. :P

Ehem. No.

1) To get off my lazy butt and edit my novel so that it's no longer so ugly and first draftish.
2) To actually take part in NaNo this year.
3) To sort out my phrasing and sentence construction in writing. It's currently foul and often very awkward.
4) To write another novel.
5) Speaking of writing another novel, I want to write a happy one... Never really done one of those before.
6) Cat.
I didn't know what to put here so I put this.

My writing resolution is to show more than I tell. I would like to use dialogue more, describe things more, and build up suspense. I also would like to free myself from judgment.

To finish- no start - my novel. To stop planning (i.e. procrastinating) so much.
