The Evolving World Order:
Introduction I have a big question. Which is, who runs the world? It used to be an easy question to answer. If you're over 45 like me, you grew up in a world that was dominated by two giants. The United States called the shots on one side of the Wall, the Soviets set the rules on the other. And that was a bipolar world. It's very simple. If you're under 45, you grew up when the Soviet Union had already collapsed, and that left the United States as the sole superpower, dominating global institutions and also exerting raw power. And that was a unipolar world. And then about 15 years ago, things got a little more complicated.

Overcoming Procrastination
You show me a writer that doesn't procrastinate and I'll show you a liar. Procrastination plagues us all and might as well be called part of human nature, however, procrastination just may be the thing that is killing your novel. When you first get that glimmer of an idea, you might dash across the page for a day or two, but then you start to put it off waiting for the right inspiration or the right time to write. Not long before you know it a new brighter and shiner idea begins and the cycle starts again. Rinse. Wash. Repeat. Until you have a computer full of half-started novels that will never see life outside of the short document you brought it to life in. That sounds miserable. So here is a call to every writer reading this to find the motivation, whether you like it or not, to get off your butt or onto your butt and finish what you started. Recognize The Procrastination Trap When You See It The laundry can wait, the dishes can wait, and social media can wait. The only thing that can't wait is your novel and using "productive procrastination" is still procrastination when you're using cleaning, organizing, or doing other tasks just to put off writing. Put down the sponge, stop folding that shirt, and go write. Unless something is on fire - it can wait until after you type out 1000 words or so. Set Clear Goals and DEADLINES But I don't have a publisher, why would I have deadlines? Well, you're reading this post, aren't you? Obviously, you admit you have a problem and I'm telling you how to fix it and the solution you need is a deadline. Don't run away, it's not as scary as you think! Sure you can set goals to write 1000 words every day, but life happens and some things get in the way like doctor's appointments (where you should write in the waiting room) or something you just can't push aside to write that day. So instead set a weekly goal or a deadline so that you have to make it up to yourself before the time runs out. Your deadline can be something as simple as one chapter by the end of the week or the whole novel drafted by the end of the month. Just make it something attainable and then move it up by a day or two each time as you make better habits. Create a Writing Schedule Every morning I wake up, I don't pass Go, I don't get a cup of coffee, I don't even pet the dog - well sometimes I do. I walk from my bed to my computer, I wake up as my computer does and I start typing. I personally write my novels at night, but these articles are first and foremost in my day. I write until I have completed two or three and then I trudge off to get some coffee before doing other administration work for the day. Have you noticed how my posting has been more consistent? Not the time of the posting, but the fact that I have managed to post an article every single day for the past month and however many days today makes. It's because I set a schedule. I sit and write at my desk at the same time every morning without fail as if I had a time card to punch because in a way I do. Set a time to write every day and stick to it every day for a week. Then make it two and then keep going until you don't even have to open your eyes to make it to your desk in the morning because most of the mornings - I don't. Start Small Maybe you're procrastinating because you are overwhelmed by the idea of actually writing a full novel, sure it sounded good as an idea but after a few words you realize you need more than 50,000 more of them to reach the minimum for a novel. So just start with one. Write 100 words a day if that makes it easier for you to grasp. This article at this point, just reached 700 words, so 100 is a piece of cake you should be able to do in your sleep. If not, break it down even smaller into 50 words a day. Just make sure to get something down on the page every day. Break It Into Pieces Outlining is the procrastinator's best friend, it gives you a task to do without having to have too much stress behind you not knowing what to write. I outline my novels chapter by chapter and I write a chapter a day. This doesn't mean I have to write my book in a linear fashion, sometimes I scroll through and decide which scene I want to write and just to stop those who will say that that takes the discovery out of writing, it really doesn't. I write one sentence description for each chapter and it goes from there, some of these descriptions turn into two or even three chapters instead, It's just a starting guide, not an exact road map. Eliminate Distractions Put away the phone. Turn off the TV, give your partner a new puzzle, and give your children wifi. Respect your writing as if you were going to work, would your partner interrupt you at work to ask you if you've seen their left shoe? If the answer is yes - you might need to have a conversation with them about using the shoe rack AND respecting your writing boundaries. Make a note of things that distract you while trying to write and the next time you sit down to write learn to ignore them or remove them from your writing space. Find an Accountability Buddy If you can't hold yourself accountable, have someone else do it for you. This will be the best and worse decision you will ever make. My partner is my buddy and there isn't a day that goes by why I go to check on them at work and tell them I was thinking of them just to get a text back about using my expression of love as a procrastination effort, or even worse - they withhold snacks from me until I finish the chapter of the day. It's just the worst, but one of the best forms of motivation out there. I will write a whole chapter in an hour if they say we can go out for boba afterward. Embrace Imperfection Your first draft is going to suck, and there is nothing wrong with that and not much you can do about it so you might as well get over it and get used to it. The magic is in the editing, but you can't edit a novel that hasn't been written. First drafts are you telling yourself the story for the first time, it may be incomplete, and it may have characters whose names have yet to be discovered, but it'll at least be on the page with nowhere to go but up from there. Get it out of your mind that you have to get it right the first time, or even the second time, and just focus on getting it done. Seek Inspiration Read. Read everything you can get your hands on. Never stop reading. Every time you finish a book, pick up another one and just keep going. Celebrate Milestones Buy a special snack every time you finish a chapter. Go out to dinner every time you finish a draft. Celebrate every milestone and you'll find yourself with motivation to move forward so that you can celebrate the next one. If you really need it - buy a bag of your favorite snacks and only allow yourself to have one at the end of the day if you have finished your goal for that day. Get something that will really motivate you and don't allow yourself to eat it at any other time. No writing = no snack. You'd be surprised how much of a motivator it is when it's right there and you can have it - after you get 100 words onto the page. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Now, like this article, drop a follow if you haven't already, and then get to writing! - and then keep writing. With love, B.K. xo xo __________________________________________________ *If you've liked what you read you can show your support by subscribing, pledging your support, or leaving me a tip that directly supports and aids me as a writer.

Every time I open the
Every time I open the newspaper and see articles written by other young reporters, my heart is like a bottle of vinegar knocked over, which is very unpleasant. I also want to contribute, but I do not know how to vote, I am anxious like a ant on a hot pot ----. Finally, God pays off, my mother found a small reporter network on the Internet a few days ago, and joined a small reporter parent exchange group. Since discovering this website, my mother has been uploading my previous articles to this website non-stop. As a result, my name entered the weekly ranking edition, ranking fourth. Moreover, an article I had written before was picked up by the Little reporter's workshop and was about to be published in the 78th periodical. I'm excited and inspired. Recently, my mother found another little journalist trainee lecture and signed me up to attend. When I got there, I found that every teacher there had a nickname! The teacher who taught us was named Garfield the Cat. What an interesting name! Mr. Garfield's class is even more interesting! In class, the teacher let us have a competition: according to the limited topic, in ten minutes to write a composition "my home". The teacher gave the order and the competition began. Cold sweat broke out on my head and hands as I worked hard to write. Finally, I finished the composition within the prescribed time. I shook the already numb arm, turned a little stiff neck, quietly waiting for the teacher's score. In the end, I got the first place with a high score of 390 words, and also won a title - fast writing King. I was so happy! Today's activity is so interesting! If there is a chance, I will go again next time!I remember that when I was in the third grade, the school was ready to carry out activities with the theme of "low-carbon life, turning waste into treasure". Advocate students to live a low-carbon life, the use of waste things into useful things. This coke broke the students, they collected a lot of old newspapers, cans, cardboard shells, waste discs, beer bottles... Carefully cut and made, so that those waste products after their careful planning, but become a "rare treasure". There are colorful pen holders, beautiful and lovely photo albums, small and exquisite laptop, vivid football..... The works on display on campus attracted everyone's attention, students, teachers, district leaders... - Groups of visitors, it is really an endless stream. Each piece of work with a unique heart made every audience full of praise. "It's beautiful! A bespectacled sister looked from side to side in her hand as she admired the album. Woah! A laptop." "Cried one of the fiercest brothers. Now the primary school students are really good, I have a good look at how they do, go back to teach my son to do it." A young teacher said admiringly. What's more, we use scraps of cloth, paper cups, scrap thread... Through their dexterous hands, whimsical sewing skirt, wear in their own body, with a model step, on the campus stage to show their style. Watching the students excitedly stood up from the stool, mouth kept saying something, applause around every corner of the campus for a long time. This activity not only let the students have a deeper understanding of environmental protection, but also let them find the bright spot from the small things in life, enhance the students' awareness of environmental protection, but also stimulate the students' awareness of innovation. "Snap! Campus past book closed, when you recall campus life, please open this book, looking for the beautiful campus past!
