During this episode of Diving into Writing, which was recorded at the beginning of July, Mariëlle and Lucinda check in with each other about their goals for the next six months.  

Here are some of the topics that came up:

* That goal setting is a very personal practice and might take some trial and error to get right.

* Mariëlle, who strayed far off the goal-setting path, realises during the episode that breaking her big goals into mini goals she then gets to check off one by one might be giving her the energy she’s been lacking over the last six months. 

* That Lucinda is much better at goal setting when it’s about her dogs and training they need than when it’s about her day job (where she does set goals) and her writing (where she hasn’t set any goals lately). 

* That both Mariëlle and Lucinda’s main goal is to start setting writing goals again.
