goals

December 30, 2020

goals? my biggest goal right now is to get out of these leggings, comfy though they be, and put on some makeup. but why? it’s 2020!

in all seriousness though, regardless of whether we’re in real clothes or “loungewear” 24/7, we can still set goals for the rest of this month (NaNoWriMo edits, anyone?) and the upcoming new year.

for me, my goal for december is to finish drafting the new romcom I’ve been working on. i got over 50k during NaNo but still need about another 20k. it’s been such a fun story to write though, and i don’t normally say that about first drafts because they tend to be my least favorite part of the writing process.

other than finishing that draft, i plan on continuing my daily writing routine of 1,000-1,500 words monday-friday. some days, the words pour out and i write well over that goal but i’ve realized that when i set the bar too high, i end my sessions feeling disappointed instead of motivated. by setting a realistic goal, i personally end up having much more productive writing sessions. and my family gets to eat, so that’s good, right?

what are your goals this month?
