#122: How To Stick To Your Writing Goals


Listen Later

 It's a new year.  Fresh start.  Clean slate.

So, let's talk about  promises we make to ourselves.

Write more consistently.
Finish the book.
Publish the book.
Sell x amount of copies.

Maybe you just want to start writing the story that's been in your head for the longest time.

But how do we keep the fire burning so we achieve those goals, or even surpass them?

In this episode, we'll talk about why most resolutions fizzle out within  a couple of months, what's missing from most goals, and a three-pronged approach to making goals stick.

We'll also cover:

  • Why focusing on the outcome may be holding you back, and what to focus on instead;
  • Underlying fears that can sabotage writers and how to move past them, and;
  • How to make both internal and external changes that keep your writing moving forward for the long term.
