Ep 3.01 - Goals

October 29, 2019

Welcome to Season 3! We’re starting off on the right foot with an episode dedicated to writing goals. Different goals work for different sorts of writers. Maybe you’re like AP and you want to have daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly goals (no, we’re not kidding! He’s the master!). Maybe you’re like Lucy, and you want to develop a healthy habit. Or maybe you’re like Jane, who wrote a Writing Business Plan that tackles several aspects of being a writer: critique groups, submissions, seminars, and education in addition to writing. Mentioned are two books: The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and Steering the Craft by Ursula K. LeGuin. Prototype different strategies for goal-setting and don’t forget to tweet us about what works best for you. National Novel Writing Month is another great opportunity to set goals, whether they’re achievable or aspirational.
