Every year I make personal resolutions as well as resolutions for writing. This year, I feel like my writing goals may be easier met than my personal goals, which is usually not the case. It may be because there are a lot of outside factors that I have no control over that affect my personal goals, but I am the only one in control over whether I write or not. Not only that, but I’m not setting myself up for failure; no lofty goals of getting published, becoming a National Bestseller, or getting rich and famous (not until next year anyway). Gotta save something for 2015.
For 2014, I resolve to…
- set realistic writing goals
- write at least 5 out of 7 days a week
- finish the first draft of book one
- finish editing my sister’s book
- enter at least one writing contest
- submit book one to sister/editor for review
- finish the outline for book two
- start second book
- call myself a writer
I might have thrown off your pole . . .
Not if you answered honestly : ) I wanted this pole to allow people to select more than one option. It looks like you have quite a few goals! Good luck writing in 2014!!!
My main goal is to finish the remaining edits on my book. Getting published would be awesome. Of course being rich and famous wouldn’t be too bad either 🙂
Good luck to you : ) Who knows, this could be the year!
