I talked a bit about my broad goals in my recent podcast episode, but here is the finalized list, along with my goals for the first quarter. Oh, and I’m introducing a new goal image for 2020 😀
Broad Goals/Targets for 2020
These are the slightly looser goals and targets that I’ll be keeping in mind as I set each quarter’s smaller, more measurable goals. Some are a little nebulous, but that’s okay as these are not the exact goals, just “aim in this general direction” type targets, except the first one of course. 🙂
- Read at least 200 books (of course), with at least 10 non-fiction books and 15 non-manga fiction titles
- Strongly consider Write Better-Faster Beginners course
- Decide on the next title, get to it, and get it released!
- Finish 2019 NaNo novel first draft
- Build a habit of writing some kind of fiction at least 3 times a week
- 50k words or more for NaNo 2020, with bonus goal of writing at least a few hundred words every day
