It's the 17th day of the New Year and I am finally posting my goals on the blog. It took a lot of thought, planning and praying. Let's face it, goals are important and I believe they (goals) should not be done just for the heck of it!
I think my goals need to reflect each aspect of my humanism: body, soul and spirit so I grabbed my handy-dandy notebook and labeled three pages in the following manner: "Physical Goals", "Spiritual Goals" and "Personal Goals." I then divided my personal goals into "Writing Goals" and "Other Personal Goals." These are my personal writing goals.
Writing Goals
- Write daily for 10 minutes three times a day
- Write a story weekly
- Write a poem weekly
- Complete 1 - 4 books by December
- Publish 1-4 books by December
- Improve my blog
- Host a blog-o-versary extravaganza
What are your writing goals for this year?
Those are some pretty awesome goals. I don't think writing 30 minutes with breaks would work for me. I've got a 2 to 4 hour block in the day, and that seems to get two books written a year. (With editing/critiquing/and promotional stuffs wedged between.) Here's hoping your 2014 proves SUPER effective!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how that time will work either it's really an experiment and I will adjust the times as needed. All the best to you for your goals this year!
DeleteTruly awesome goals, I'm a goal setter and love that fact you quoted! So true, setting it out to the universe and does something inside that just gets you moving forward! Love it! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI think setting the goals is the easy part sometimes the execution can be a little more difficult. :) Here's to a New Year! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHi Shirley, just found your blog and now following. I love setting goals! I've got some ambitious writer goals this year too, but so far have not started LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and following. I haven't really started either. SMH. But I will not beat myself up. Baby steps! LOL!!
DeleteThose are very impressive goals and I hope you meet them. I'm a bit concerned about the amount of time allocated to writing though. Like Crystal, I need more time to write.
ReplyDeleteAlso following you now .. looking forward to seeing you work towards your goals. Damaria Senne at http://damariasenne.blogspot.com ( sorry, struggled with options available to me to provide ID, as the Google account I use routinely is not linked to my blog.)
Those are some great goals! I hope you are able to do them. I want to write two more books in my series this year and write outlines for two more.
