MA 34 - 2020 Lessons Learned turn into 2021 Goals

The retrospective episode you've been waiting for.
When I ask myself what I learned in 2020, my first impulse is to start laughing.
Sometimes you have to strike out into the hills, only to find out you ended where you started... but I learned a lot along the way, and I'm going into 21 with a good game plan and the experience to make it work.
My big goal for 2021: 1 million words of fiction. If I make that happen, I'll be well on my way to bringing my income up where it needs to be to make this a sustainable career.
That's 2740 words a day or 19,178 a week. Seems crazy in aggregate, but I can easily write a 1000 words an hour as long as I know the story I want to write. I bet you can too.
I hope you're looking forward to 2021 as well.
Thanks for listening,
James
