Writing Tip: Goals

If you're serious about getting that book written or published during the next year, or earning a certain amount of money through your writing business, Mark Ellwood says you should take a new approach to reach your goals and ensure success. Among his suggestions, Mark says:

• Plan your time every day.
• Block off 30% of your writing time on high priority, long-term activities, and don't allow interruptions to interfere.
• Share your deadlines with others.
• Overcome procrastination by breaking that big project into smaller pieces.
• Give yourself rewards for successfully completing the tough parts.
• Visualize success when fear of failure gets in the way.
