My Goal

Inspired by this lady and this lady
I'm putting a simple goal out there for all to see

I need to focus my energies

Everyday in the month of June I will spend....

1 hour rewritting my WIP
1 hour studying the craft
1 hour reading
1 hour blogging/tweeting/Facebooking

I am allowed to spend more time on WIP but not on others (unless the book is really good :)

Starting today...

  2. You definitely need more reading time allowance. :) And what if the blogs you're reading are about the craft? Do you get 1 hr or 2? :)

  3. Great to see your goals! I am a big believer that reading makes us better writers.

  4. Robin, I am helping my husband tour guide and so a lot of my reading is historical nonfiction/research right now. That doesn't count. My hour is for fiction fun. And if it's not encroaching on family time, I'll sneak in some more time :)

    I can count 'craft blog posts' as craft time :) So a possibility of 2 hours time on blogs but then *finger across neck with gross sound effect*

    But that's four hours a day of ME time. That's plenty of time with five young kids and a husband to raise. (Good thing I don't clean my house or I would have NO TIME AT ALL!)

  5. I love how you divided the time for getting a bit of everything done. Welcome to the JuNo party!

  6. Thanks and thanks for the idea! I just needed you to figuratively give me a swift kick in the pants.

  7. Shelly - you impress me! Just setting goals is something of an accomplishment :)
    By the way, what WIP are you working on? I am making a goal to get you back my comments on The Snapdragons by the end of this week :)

  8. Those are some good goals... I need something similar... except I like to reward myself with pie whenever I do the littlest thing. I hope your month goes really well for ya. =)

  9. Kim, this one is a MG Cinderella story. No rush on Snapdragons, I leave for a week on Monday morning. And since I'm gone it will be a bit on Full Circle.

    Oh Suzanne, I reward myself with treats, daily. Because I do such a good job ;)

  13. Love dividing up the goals into manageable time segments. Very nice.

  14. Wow! Good luck on reaching your goals. I would have such a hard time keeping social media to an hour per day. Once I start, I have trouble stopping.

  15. Awesome goals! I especially love your goal to study the craft for an hour. That's something I need to work on. Good luck!

  16. LOL.

    Nobody has mentioned that this post about goals came right after a post lauding procrastination.

    Welcome to my dichotic mind!
