Top 5 New Years Resolutions A Writer Should Make
Thank you for having me on the blog today! If
you’re the type of writer who likes making resolutions for the New Year,
consider some of the following goals for a successful 2014.
1) Set a daily writing goal - Whether
you decide to use a word count goal, a page goal, or a timed writing
goal, make sure your goal is measurable and attainable.
2) Set a weekly writing goal - How many days a week can you write? Be realistic. I don’t write on weekends. That’s family time.
3) Set social media goals - Social media
can be a great way to keep in touch with your readers and promote your
books. It can also be a great time suck (well for me anyway). Make a
clear goal to get the most out of your social media
needs without wasting precious writing time.
4) Set education goals - Are writers ever
done learning their craft? Are they ever done learning the business?
Not with the rapid shifts in publishing these days. Determine what your
learning needs are and then schedule time for
doing research, reading craft books, and attending workshops and
conferences.
5) Set business goals - Every writer is
in a different place in his or her publishing journey. Set goals for
submitting manuscripts to agents, editors, and contests. Set goals for
how much time you need to spend on networking, blog
tours, book signings, speaking engagements, advertising, bookkeeping,
etc. If you need help, perhaps consider a virtual assistant.
Whatever goals you make this year, be sure to
keep them precise, measurable, and attainable. Reward yourself when you
have achieved the small goals as well as the large. Good luck in your
writing journey and enjoy a successful 2014!

Yet no woman's touch has ever left Kedric more annoyed . . . and aroused. Kedric knows he should shun her soothing embrace-but he can't seem to stay away.
