My first goal of the year is to write more. This particular goal doesn’t really need a detailed plan or timeline. I can say it all in one sentence: I’m going to write for at least one hour everyday.
Although initially this goal is about little more than putting words on a page, eventually I want those words to add up to well-crafted work. So, as a corollary to this goal, I’m going to focus on my craft this year as well.
My Twelve Months of Writing:
- Character
- Plot
- Theme
- Dialog
- Setting/World Building
- Show vs. Tell
- Motivation
- Types of Fiction
- Genre Fiction
- Revision
- Novels
- Nonfiction

And if there’s anything special, craft-wise, that you’d like to discuss, let me know in the comments below.
Madeline, You are an inspiration. Reading your articles are a motivation to write. Pen in hand (typing comes later), I jot and write continually. Waiting in lines and offices are just other opportunites to create.
Judy, You are very sweet. I don’t always write everything down, but I spend a lot of time in lines and the sort daydreaming.
