About my goals. I know, I know, everyone's blogging about resolutions at the moment and it's starting to get a little old, but I feel like I need to write this down in order to stay accountable to myself.
In my December pre-resolutions I had a number of things I wanted to achieve. I've decided I'm going to cut those back to one. I still want to do exercise and all those other good things, but I want to put my focus onto the most important one to me.
I want to have my first draft finished and start revising it by April this year.
This means I need to make sure I write every day (within reason - sometimes it's just not possible and I'm not going to beat myself up for skipping a day every few weeks). At the moment I'm going over what has already been written because the lack of progress recently has fuzzied my recollection of events and I want to make sure I don't leave any glaring plot holes. I want to have this done and start getting new words by Wednesday next week.
Because I'm also very much a numbers person I'll be tracking my progress with a writer's report card type spreadsheet, and probably posting progress here too. The more public the more accountable.
Right now, based on 85 working days, I need to be getting minimum 513 words per day to reach my words target. I can do that.
How are you all planning to stick to your goals this year? Is this something you generally find easy, or do you lack in self motivation too?
