New Life Resolution

Do, or do not, there is no try.

My new resolution for my new life is to get serious about writing.

I resolve to write at least 1 short story or 1 chapter a week, devoting either Tuesday or Thursday lunch time to do it.

I had so much ideas in the past, I never got to work on any properly.  I have no idea what I should do ... Chinese history translation ... Chinese historical detective fiction ... modern thriller set in Asia ... children's story ... biographies of significant women in China's history ... or even a humour piece.

I don't know what I will do well in, but I resolve it doesn't matter.

I am certain I have no aim to rise high to management or senior management in any company.  My interests have always been in thinking, subjects that challenges the intellect.  I love to write, to debate, to argue, to formulate ideas, counter them, build them up, tear them down.

I think my passion in life is to write.

And I resolve to write.

A chapter a week.  I will write whatever I fancy each week.  I will see which topic or subject develops, and let it be.

I'm not going to sit down and plan meticulously a whole book now ... I might do that when I'm a professional, but not now.

I will experimenting, feel my way.  I may start half a dozen different writings in half a dozen week, but it doesn't matter.

They may never be completed, nor published even if completed, but it doesn't matter.

I will do it, because it is my passion.

I have dithered enough, I have procrastinated enough.

New Life begins  ...  NOW.
