Writing Goals: 2019 [Parts 1–10]

10 part series for writers to consider what we did in 2018 and will do in 2019.

Each day these past two weeks, I invited readers to reflect on their writing progress in 2018 and go about the process of setting achievable goals in 2019. Here are links to the entire 10 part series.

Part 1: Looking Back

Part 2: Assessing Where You Are

Part 3: Where Do You Want To Go As A Writer?

Part 4: Practical Matters

Part 5: Going Public

Part 6: Schedule

Part 7: Time Management

Part 8: First Draft

Page 10: Trust the Process

Whether you participate online here, in the Zero Draft Thirty Facebook group, or privately, this is a great opportunity to do some solid personal work about who you are as a creative and create writing targets for next year to motivate you to maximize your productivity.

I’m going through the process myself and 2019 offers an exciting new chapter in my creative journey: I have recently signed a contract with Palgrave Macmillan to write a book they will publish. Its title:

“An Introduction to Character Driven Screenwriting and Storytelling
— The Protagonist’s Journey.”

So join me, won’t you, on this annual journey of self-discovery and if you’re up for it, write a RESPONSE to any/all of the above posts.

Onward!
