'Write,' she said, 'as if you'll never be read. That way you'll be sure to tell the truth.'

The thing all writers do best is find ways to avoid writing.

A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul and that I am sure is why he does it.

Writing, then, was a substitute for myself: if you don't love me, love my writing & love me for my writing.

You can only write by putting words on a paper one at a time.

Writing Goals

Hey guys! So this is three months too late, but I’ve made a blank goals calendar for people to use in 2019.

I’ve uploaded two versions of the goals chart. 

The first is set up with the base goals I have for myself. This includes my daily and monthly word count—calculated so that I can have a few days off without ‘failing’—as well as exercise goals, blogging goals and my rewards, which is really just me buying more books for myself. I also have a different quote about writing each month and a progress bar on the side you can fill in just to make things fun. You can download the 2019 chart here.

My second version is exactly like the first, except you can add your own goals. It’s great for people at different levels of their writing career or for people who want to challenge themselves differently each month. This chart can be downloaded here.

If you want to customise your goals calendar even more, you can message me. I can usually make any changes pretty quickly or I could email you the InDesign files to change as you like. 

Happy writing!
