I've been participating in a few New Year's motivational writing blogs, and from Julie Hedlund's 12 days of Christmas, I took away the idea of making a book cover. FOCUS is on there, loud and clear. Keep after me, Janie, and I might just do it!!!

Thank you for your...Janie: Happy New Year to you. <br /><br />Thank you for your encouragement. A writer does need goals. If you don't know where you are headed or what road to take, how will you know when you are there?<br /><br />I am beginning with small steps. I am showing a willingness as I begin with an open heart. <br /><br />Sharing some SMART ideas to set goals:<br />Specific: Write clear, precise and definite goals that provide a target. If goals are too broad or too general they will be hard to achieve. <br />Measurable: Goals must be written so that a writer can measure progress and know when the goals are achieved. Goals are useless if they can't be measured.<br />Attainable: Think about the steps to take to achieve the goals.<br />Relevant: Make sure the goals are just right; not too easy and not too challenging.<br />Timely: Follow a definite timeline. As you check your progress, adjust as need be.<br /><br />Happy writing.<br />~Suzy<br />Garden Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381204646734686433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-44140616089925511362016-01-04T10:12:54.928-05:002016-01-04T10:12:54.928-05:00Having clear goals helps you know what to say yes ...Having clear goals helps you know what to say yes to--and no!
