At the beginning of each year, businesses and private individuals make resolutions or set goals for the year. As a writer, you are in a serious business. So I expect you to set smart writing goals for the year.





If you are want to be a professional writer and you really want to set smart writing goals, I expect that your overall goal will reflect the following activities.

Write Everyday
Read Everyday (materials in your field)
Rehearse
Publish a book
Qualities of a Great writing Goal

Specific:
Your writing goal should be something you see and understand at a glance. Your goal should not be something like: I want to write well. I want to write many things.

That is a bad goal. make your goals to be specific like: I will write 2 novels this year. You can go further to write the titles of the novels you want to write and a short description of the story line.

Attainable
Your goal should be something you can do. If your goal is too big that you cannot attain it, it is not a goal. Don’t say, I will write and publish one hundred books this year.

Mesurable
Make sure that your goal shows a clear difference between when it is met and when it is not met. It will help you know the progress recorded on your goal attainment.

Time-Bound
Every smart writing goal is time-bound. that is, it is your goal must be linked to a specific time when you expect to achieve them. It is a great thing to say, I will write and publish one novel this year. It is another great thing to say, I Will start writing from January. I expect to finish writing by June. I will edit and Publish in the second half of the year.

Similarly, you can break down the goal to smaller sizes.

Relevant
I believe this is the main thing. If you want to set smart writing goals, your goals must center on writing. D’ont set goals outside writing when you are actually a writer. You are a writer but you are setting goals on how to buy paint brush. Are you a painter? What are we going to call that?

After you have set smart writing goals, please make sure that you do the following:

Write regularly
Read related materials in your field. Every writer is a researcher.
Make sure that at the end of a given period you will have something great to show.
