Writing Goals
What are yours?
Stories get published. Books wind up on shelves in cozy bookshops. Films even get made from our literature. But it all has to start somewhere. Your favorite novel started as a goal the writer had. I’ve been a fan of goal setting for a long time, and I believe it’s never too late to do so. That’s why here in the last quarter of 2024, I ask what your goal is. After all, how can you know who you want to be, if you’re afraid to say it? Do you want to write a story? Go back to school? Find an agent? Get the big book contract? Or maybe your goal is more life oriented: pay off debt, find a better job, start a new wellness program?
I’ll go first. I’m revising my fourth book now. I have until sometime next year to finish, but I hope to be just about done with it by February.
Drop your goal, big or small in the comments! Thanks…
My goal is to figure out how to establish a regular writing schedule while balancing a FT job and frequent migraines. I want to generate more pages of the novel I’m writing.
My goal for this q4 is to finish the first draft of a novel I’m writing. I’d say it’s about a 3rd finished now, but I feel like I know what’s going to happen, so the rest should go faster than the beginning when I was still discovering the character’s arcs.
