Much like writers all have best
times of the day to write, we all have different ways of setting daily goals. I’m
a morning person so I write my new manuscripts in the morning and do editing,
social networking and administrative tasks in the afternoon. I have tried a
number of different approaches on setting daily writing goals.
Sometimes I try to accomplish a
certain number of words a day. Other times I’ve set page targets or completing
a chapter. The important part for me is merely writing every day. The only time
I don’t write is when we have family functions or are visiting our kids and
grandkids. Then I put writing aside.
For the most recent manuscript,
I wrote at least a chapter a day. This ended up having fifty chapters, and with
various family activities, I completed the rough draft in two months. Now I’m
on to my many editing passes.
