How To Achieve Your Writing Goal

Posted by Marcella Glenn On February - 27 - 2009

Any goal, especially writing goals are
planned.

“I’m going to be a billion dollar
writer, or make that much yearly.”
You said.

It’s good to have dreams, goals,
but you have to have a plan.
Ask questions. How are you going
to start making money? Have you
been published yet? You have a
income from writing? Have you
been contracted? Are numerous
projects in the works?

Sometimes, it best to work on
one project at a time. It stops you
from over–extending yourself.

Don’t take on more than you
can handle. It stresses you,
and your best work isn’t sent out.

Make a schedule, plan to work
on a project. Write it on your
calendar, in an appointment
book.

Work on it as planned. This is
the only way to reach your goal.

Writing must become a habit.
It’s done frequently. It helps
you become a better writer as
you stumble toward your goal.

Is there any tool you need
to foster in achieving a goal?

Take the time to gather these
tools.

“What do you mean?” You
asked.

Well, would taking a college
course help you further a
goal? Perhaps, subscribing
to a blog, e-newsletter, and
the like to heighten your
abilities? Don’t be bashful
when picking tools needed
to further your goals. Do
what’s best for your life-style.

A plan involves stacking the
most important items on top.
So, you have to look at your
life, and pluck-out what’s
most important to you.

I know, it isn’t easy.
Still, make a choice.
Will you pick to achieve
your writing goal?

You’ve come this far.
Remember, as in life,
writing goals require
determination to be
successful.

Rarely, a goal is realized
without hard work,
determination.

If a goal feels too large,
slice it into pieces.
If writing a book, for
example gets over–whelming,
stop working on it. Take a break.

Go back to it tomorrow. Write
three-four pages, not a whole
chapter.

The same advice applies to
articles, business proposals,
essays, reports, poems,
fiction, or non-fiction.
