...that's when I'll know I'm a pro!
So yesterday I did one thing to further my goal of setting up goals for the year. Ha.
I printed out a calender so I can X out the days when I accomplish my goal, but I never really set my goals. And after much thought I've decided to take it easy and set two goals for daily improvement.
1) Write one page of fiction or edit three pages of completed stories (I kinda stole this one from the author of the article that I got the idea from, and blogging doesn't count. But it feels doable and I hopefully won't set myself up for failure. And if I do write one page a day, I can easily knock out a book or two a year.)
2) Do something constructive at home. (You might say that if I do number 1 at home then number 2 is done, but I mean something that betters the home, whether spraying weeds, mowing, raking leaves, trimming trees, doing dishes, taking out the trash, doing laundry, etc. Most days, especially now that I'm working two jobs I get home and veg. This isn't conducive to having a nice yard for my daughter to play in, or contributing to a clean house, which I prefer.)
There you go. I think its manageable and it'll help me get closer to where I want to be in the future. I do need to figure out what I'm going to do on sick days, or holiday and traveling days. But maybe I should quit procrastinating and just go start writing.
