It’s that time of year again when we ponder what we want to achieve in the new year. For parents who write, our lives are exceptionally busy, so planning our writing goals is crucial to our success. However, we also need to intentionally set writing goals that we can realistically achieve. 

So if you haven’t already sat down to plan out your writing goals for the new year, use this template that is tried, tested, and true. Help set yourself up for success and ensure that whatever story is living inside of you does, in fact, come to life.

Topics discussed in this episode: 

• Digging deep into why you write
• Setting realistic goals
• Tracking your progress
• Planning ahead
• Identifying potential obstacles and solutions
• Finding the right accountability community
• Conquering self-doubt
• Telling your inner judge to wait their turn
• Identifying your audience
• Connecting with one person
• Redefining what it means to be a writer

Looking for an editor or book coach?

As an indie author, editor, and book coach, I teach authors how to untangle their jumbled ideas and tackle each writing stage one at a time.

With my 20 years’ experience and my master’s in writing, I have a 4-stage process that takes authors from struggling with overwhelm to finishing their manuscripts with confidence and direction in 6 months.

As such, I love spending time with my clients and watching them grow into strong, knowledgeable authors. Read more here, and schedule a call to see if we're a good fit: https://calendly.com/erinptcanning/30min-meeting.
