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
