http://www.torah.org/learning/dvartorah/5765/netzavim.html
I still feel like there's a better answer out there, because in our prayers, in the machzor it seems that somehow being written in the book of life (or the opposite) is somehow connected to our physical destiny that will occur in the year and it does not at first glance seem to be just an assessment of our spirituality.

--- End quote ---

That is what I said, that we are judged whether we get another year of physical life in this world at Rosh Hashana. What we get in Olam Haba is decided when we expire from this world, and meet final judgement. As you have said before, all is in the hands of Shamayim except for fear of Shamayim.

Edu,

These lessons discuss your question. I believe they shed some light on the answer.
