January marks a month of topics about the craft of writing and the art of marketing.
This is a purposely broad topic and we will focus as the month goes on.
On Wednesday, January 2nd we will gather here for a mini-topic on what to include in a theme about the craft of writing and the art of marketing.
January is Art and Craft Month
Task or Goal?
I was preparing to talk to you about setting goals, but while I was researching this topic I ended up at Amazon buying a day planner.
The level of specificity involved in choosing an ordinary day planner almost felt like choosing a car. There are Weekly Planners, Two Day Spread Planners, One Page Per Day and deluxe models. Then there are Themed Planners.
The real point is that once I placed the order I remembered I had a simple goal. To write this article about setting goals. Before I ramble too far off topic this article wasn’t a goal.. it was a task... What I came up short on was Focus.
Join us on Sunday so we can discuss the difference between a task and a goal and why each are important because I don’t think a goal can exist without its Tasks.
2019 is almost here. Many of us wrap up the year by taking a sort of inventory of progress we made during the year and making promises to do it better in the future. As a writer, writing and sending submissions out into the world creates the task of managing them.
Some of the most brilliant writers fail to get published, and not because their work isn’t ready for publication, but because they fail to submit their work.
