Setting Goals for Yourself When Writing

Hey all, so today I am going to be talking about setting goals.

Are you a procrastinator? Do you put it off until the deadline is tomorrow?

If so, goals might be a great idea for you...

My goal is to write one chapter a day of my novel. Your goal can be anything you want! 300 words, 1000 words, I don't know. But make it reasonable and make it something that you have the ability to follow. Then create a log showing the days you did it and the days you didn't. That way you can know if your goal is too easy or too hard.

I think that a reasonable goal for you is to look at how much you have done. If you are only 1/8 in, I would try to write a chapter/page or two a day, as you will get more work done in the long run. If you are 1/2 in,  I would try to write 3/4 to 1 chapter or one page a day. If you are basically done, I would write about 300 words or less a day until you have the ability to revise.

If you keep at these goals, you can see that it is a lot easier to create an amazing piece that isn't choppy and shows that you have been writing everyday.

Hope this helps! Please comment and follow!
