Marathon Author 38 - Big Hairy Audacious Goals
Friday May 21, 2021
Friday May 21, 2021
I'm writing a million words this year, and there's a reason I'm talking about this goal so much, and I think you should do the same.
This episode is about goal setting as a way to set priorities in your life and work, and how to identify your "big rocks" so the little rocks don't crowd them out.
Sometimes you need to inspire yourself with a goal that pushes you to your limits, and you'll find that others are inspired as well.
Livestreaming is still working very well, but the same rules are holding true for me: when I do the pre-work on the characters and chapter outlines, hitting my 4k a Day is easy. When I don't know what I want to write, I flounder.
