WRITING GOALS FOR 2011

My dayjob ran me ragged for two weeks. I believe Santa outsources his deliveries to us. But the busy, bad times are WAY back there. I've been noodling around with my goals for the upcoming year. Last years goals were ephemeral so this year specificity is needed.



2011 WRITING GOALS
DAILY
Write one hour minimum every morning.
Spend one hour minimum every night on writing related work-editing, rewriting, market search, submission tracking/issues, organization, etc…
WEEKLY
Track word counts and evaluate writing progress.
Update social media. Tweak when necessary.
MONTHLY
Every three weeks have a rough draft done and have a finished draft by the fourth week.
Have finished stories in continuous submission rotation.
YEARLY
Three short stories published in paying markets.

    Have you ever come across the Writer's Database? It's a free web-based application that would help with several of these goals: submission tracking, word count tracking, market search, even updating social media when you send out a submission, receive a reply, find a new market, or add to the word count on a manuscript.

    Find it at: www.writersDB.com
