Issue # 20
Theme: Writing Novels
Welcome to Issue # 20!
Spring is just around the corner for those of us in the northern hemisphere. For many, the coming of spring brings a renewed interest in many things, including writing. If you are considering working on a novel, here is help, inspiration, and understanding of the difficulties.
And once again, I would like to invite any of you to submit nonfiction writing-related articles to Vision. Tell us about your writing experiences, and remember that many people have had their first publications with Vision. If you have something that you think might help another writer, then give writing a short article a try.

· May/June -- Writing Shorter Fiction (April 10 deadline)
· July/August -- The Fine Points of Critiquing (June 10 deadline)
