It’s that time of year again when we ponder what we want to achieve in the new year. For parents who write, our lives are exceptionally busy, so planning our writing goals is crucial to our success. However, we also need to intentionally set writing goals that we can realistically achieve.
So if you haven’t already sat down to plan out your writing goals for the new year, use this template that is tried, tested, and true. Help set yourself up for success and ensure that whatever story is living inside of you does, in fact, come to life.
In today’s episode, Erin shares 6 specific steps on how to set your writing goals for the new year. These steps include digging deep into your big why, identifying pragmatic and quantifiable approaches, creating a new perspective on writing, and thinking out of the box.
