Tis the season… Will you be making any writing related resolutions?
As you think about next year, what will your resolution be? I know some of you have participated in NaNo, and you’re looking to publish that novel. Others will be planning to do NaNo again this year. What of your daily writing goals? What do you want to accomplish?
Here are a few suggestions…
- Set a goal to write a certain number of words per day, or a certain amount of time per day.
- Plan to send out at least one short story or poem a month (if you write them).
- Plan on spending at least some time every day doing something creative other than working on your major project.
- If you do nonfiction, then plan on getting out at least one query a month (or a week), etc.
And here are mine…
- I’ll write at least 1000 words per day.
- I’ll spend at least half an hour a day on revisions (once the novel’s rough draft is complete).
If you’re like me, broken resolutions are nothing new. How about making a commitment to keeping these this year?
