And 2017 has arrived!
My goal to finish my rough draft by the end of 2016 definitely did not happen. I'm disappointed in myself.
But what's done is done. Or what's not done is done. That doesn't mean I stop trying. It just means it's time for a new goal, a new deadline.
I wrote out a bunch of New Year's resolutions. Like I always do. And I'm not naive enough to think that I'll stick with all of them. I am hopeful for some of them. But in this blog I'm only concerned with one of them.
And here it is...
My rough draft will be done BEFORE I turn 28.
By April of this year my rough draft will be done. I'm not entirely sure if I want to stick with the same story I was working on. To be honest I haven't written anything for it since October. Maybe I'll start a new story. But whether it's the same story or a new one I will have a rough draft in three months. A tall order. But a possible one.
I know that anyone who reads this blog has their own life and in the grand scheme of things doesn't really care if I meet this goal or not. But there's something about declaring the goal for other people to know it that makes me feel more accountable.
Alright 2017. Let's do this!
