End of Month Writing Goals

Hello again. It is near the end of January. I have been writing and editing articles for my friend. I am a freelance editor and writer. I spend more time doing this more than personal writing. This can be essays, poems, or whatever comes to mind.

That being said, I have made some goals to I want to achieve by the end of this month.

Here they are...

1 - Write two poems.

2 - Enter a contest or two at http://www.writing.com.

3 - Write more of the novel I began last November. (This is a result of the annual NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month challenge.)

Tip: When you set your writing goals, start small.

Big goals (i.e. write a novel in thirty days, get published within a certain time-frame) are great. However, if you fall short of reaching them? More likely than not, you are going to berate yourself and want to give up. That is why you want to break these up in small goals. It is a step-by-step process. 

You can do it. I believe in you. You should believe in yourself, too.


Until next time...

Happy Writing!
