Reading articles online about writing and listening to various writing podcasts has made me realise that I need to set up some realistic goals for myself and my novel.
I say realistic because I am starting to know my habits and personality very well these days and what is achievable or not for me. I know I have commitments and responsibilities that come before writing, but I also know that I can be a real procrastinator at times. I believe that setting up unrealistic goals for myself is just setting me up for failure and can be extremely demotivating.
So taking into account my full-time job and other factors into account, this is the goal I have set myself.
My goal for 2017 is to write, edit and publish my first debut novel. And I want to have it all done by September 2017.
There I've said it. And not only that but I wrote it on this blog so it will be on the internet forever, haunting me if I don't achieve it.
