Well, everyone knows I’m as slow as molasses about achieving my writing goals, but this year I’m gonna try harder to reach them.
- A resolution is not enough. Make a plan for each day. (Mine: write posts ahead of time and spend the rest of my time writing on WIP.)
- Just like a map makes travel less complicated so a plan makes keeps you on the right writing track. (Stick to my plan.)
- Opportunities abound for writers but so does competition. Compete better by practicing. (I will practice writing something every day.)
- Breaking a big project down into smaller sections makes it easier. Sort of like eating an elephant. (old joke, I don’t really eat elephants.)
- Big ambitions are fine as long as you don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Remember slow and steady often wins the race. (Well I’ve got the slow down perfectly.)
- Whatever your writing goals may be, they all start with one step. (Or one word.)
- One word begets 500, 500 leads to 1000 – just get writing. (I’m on it.)
- Don’t set your goals by the yardstick of other writers. (Wish I wrote like King or Rowling, sigh. But, I gotta be me.)
- Push your self out of your comfort zone. (I’m already there.)
