Developing Good Writing Habits

I thought it might be interesting for me, and for the blog, to begin developing a new writing habit each week. I know that there are some things that I really need to do to develop more productive habits for this year. If you’re like me, the start of the year makes you think of writing goals you’ve met, or missed, and you’d like to start working toward the new year’s goals.

For this week, I’m going to commit to spending a little time each night developing writing goals and a plan for meeting them. This is more detailed than my post the other day in which I outlined how I plan on breaking down my work.

I’ll be posting my goals and plan this week as I finish them, so please feel free to do the same. Some things you might consider as goals…

• Write for a certain time or number of words daily (or weekly)
• Finish a novel, screenplay, etc
• Find an agent or publisher
• Earn a certain amount from your writing
• Start an e-zine

I’m sure you’ll have no trouble coming up with a host of your own, so post them here.
