Happy New Year! So you’re ready to begin writing, huh?

• Have you always wanted to write a book?
• Desire to become the next Great American Novelist?
• Want to be the next #1 New York Times Bestseller?
• Wonder if you have what it takes to become an investigative journalist?

If you’re new around these parts, welcome to our Saturday Screening, where we post a video of interest to writers. Sometimes it’s about a writer, about writing, a specific craft related topic, or writing careers. Stop by every Saturday for a new Screening.

Today’s video is for new writers. If you want to become a writer of any type, give it a watch. And good luck in whatever you write this year.
