That's one step at a time. :)Loni Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126958230703180761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203719610395611719.post-36415564792168188212015-10-14T11:39:16.518-04:002015-10-14T11:39:16.518-04:00Normally I focus on one major writing goal at a ti...Normally I focus on one major writing goal at a time, but I've got 5 deadlines before the end of the year. I keep rotating through projects and working them toward completion based on what's due first. It's crazy and I'm ready for a break, but the results will be epic. Here's to pushing and making our goals happen!Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203719610395611719.post-71520517234299546992015-10-14T10:03:34.281-04:002015-10-14T10:03:34.281-04:00Great advice and something I am working on now.

I have long-term goals but my goals daily/weekly are usually simple such as writing another chapter or editing the next three chapters in my work in progress. Goals like that help me to get to the bigger ones...finishing my book.Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203719610395611719.post-66154967314915266722015-10-12T16:04:53.219-04:002015-10-12T16:04:53.219-04:00I'm always making goals.

Maybe the reason I haven't made good on it yet is because it does seem so daunting.

I think it takes a certain amount of bullheadedness as well because there are a lot of people saying it is a dream and not something realistic to spend time on.<br /><br />If we love it enough we will always strive to do more and to do better.
