Just as characters need a goal to drive their story forward, us writers need a plan to focus our creative efforts. From drafting and revision to publication and beyond, writing is complex and setting realistic targets can be complicated and highly personal. A good writing goal isnโ€™t just S.M.A.R.T., itโ€™s tailored to your specific process so youโ€™re less likely to get overwhelmed or discouraged. From motivational tracking tools to long-term project planning, this Zoom workshop will cover strategies not only for getting through your current project, but also building your writing career book by book.
