Five years ago (holy cow!) I started writing a young adult novel in a class at Biola. Last October (over a year ago) I set a goal to finish the first draft of said novel by the end of 2011. It is now December. I have one month to finish this baby.
I have to finish it because I don't want to be one of those people who starts and never finishes and who never reaches her goals. I love to write, but then why am I so slow at this? Is it because I'm not really a writer but am afraid to admit it? Is it because I'm an award-worthy procrastinator? I don't think so. I think it's because I let life get in the way. I let cooking, cleaning, reading, running errands, and heck, even television, get in the way of my goal. Well, not anymore! I have one month to finish and by golly I'm going to do it!
Probably tomorrow because I've got actual, real, paying work to do today.
Hey there! I'm a new follower, stopping by from the hop. Good luck getting your draft done. My dream is to be a writer - to actually be published someday - so I should start setting some goals too!
ReplyDeleteHi Jill, thanks for stopping by. I also am to be a published writer, but it's hard work! Yes, set some goals and let me know so we can cheer each other on!
