Weekly Targets #4

I only managed about half of them this week.  Note to self: Make less targets!

I have had lots of fun fiddling with the various Wiki’s I’ve set up for each of the ideas I’m working on though (if I stuck to just one I’d more than likely get bored and give up – with 3, I can just switch).  So I have been productive (world building and plotting), I just haven’t met those specific goals.

The book I’m reading keeps making me want to write, so next week – well this week now – there will be word count goals!  It’s faaaar harder to shirk those bad boys!

    Good Luck to you.

    Be careful to not set those word count goals too high. You’ll always enter a project highly motivated and able to hit high WC targets easily, but as the initial excitement wears off, and you begin the daily grind, you’ll need to keep those targets very reasonable or you’ll just end up discouraging yourself when you start to consistently miss them.

    Remember, that even a tiny 400 words a day will give you a completed novel in about 9 months. Consistency is the key, not high daily targets.
