My Writing Goals
Setting challenging goals is one of the best things for an
author to do. The hard part about goals is in keeping them. Invariably,
if the goals are not known to anyone else, it is all too easy to ignore
them, and make up excuse after excuse for not following them. At least
that's the way it is for me.
In order to help me keep these goals, I'm posting them here
so it becomes public knowledge. By doing this, I hope to keep myself
honest and on the right path to becoming a professional and published
author. Ok, so here they are:
-
Write 1,500 words daily. (This does not include revising
and editing previous work)
-
Complete the rough draft of a new short story every
month.
-
Submit at least one new story to a professional market
every month as determined by SFWA - Science Fiction
Writers of America.
-
Submit a new story to The Writer's Of The Future Contest
every quarter.
