The Importance of Setting Writing Goals

Have you set a writing goal yet? Whether you set a daily, weekly, or monthly goal is up to you, but you’ve got to do it. Otherwise, you’ll just keep putting off your writing “until you have time.”

How many times have you heard someone say, “One day, I’m going to write a book.” When exactly is “one day” and why not now? Many of us think that we need to find a cabin in the woods and lock ourselves up for months at a time in order to write a book. Why not write 1000 words a week and have a 52,000 word manuscript in a year’s time without the hassles of living in the woods isolated from the people we love?

Figure out what you want to accomplish with your writing and then break it down into more manageable goals. For example, if you want to start writing articles online, decide how many articles you want to write a month. Ten? Twenty? One? Once you know how many articles you want to write, break that down into weeks or days. 

From there, start writing. Schedule reminders in your calendar program and then write, even if you don’t feel like it. You’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish with your writing once you break your goals into smaller chunks.
