RebelHeart, Yes, we are heading into goal planning. You can check out our calendar page to see the topics. Starting on Monday we will be talking about setting priorities–starting to think about all those things we have going on in our lives to determine which are “keepers” and which we can let go to make room for our writing. Among other things, LOL. Stephanie is kicking us off and I have no idea what she is going to say yet.

If you’re going over writer routines for goal setting, I’ll see you during the week. I’d rather start approaching this topic before the first week in January. Thanks,
Julie

When I read “note to future publisher: man does not live on feelings of accomplishment alone; some cash is required” I laughed so loud my apartment echoed! I have to agree about time off being my reward, too. I am working my butt off right now to finish a couple projects before Christmas so I can take two weeks off (without guilt). I’d rather have the knowledge I’m done with these and can re-focus on my writing again in January than ANY Christmas gift you can think of! By the way, beautiful picture!

I completely agree with the simple things. I worked really freaking hard all month and the biggest reward for me was printing it all out and admiring my hard work. That, alone, was enough to keep me driven to accomplish my goal. No fancy gift or party necessary.
