Well, this year is nearly over and despite all my good intentions of writing consistently in 2024, blog posts have been few and far between. Life will always be busy and so I can’t keep using that as an excuse. I either commit to writing more consistently or I don’t. This includes journaling, which has also fallen by the wayside. I feel so much better when I have got my inner thoughts out of my head, calming that constant noise of self-doubt and worry. Surely that should be a priority? So why have I not made it one?
I don’t do well with set number goals such as a daily word count, I am much better with just do ‘a little something’ a day mentality. It worked for fiction reading after a period of time where reading just never happened on a daily basis. So I set myself the target of reading fiction daily, even if it meant just one page as I was falling asleep. I have stuck to this for over two years now and I am proud of that. (I know this sounds a pitiful goal but a goal is a goal no matter how small, and I will take the win!). So clearly I can be consistent when I try.
Going forward, I am going to aim to write a little something 4 times a week. That’s doable. Even if all I get down is a sentence.
Of course I am going to have other goals for 2025 which I hope to ponder over the coming weeks, but this one has been playing on my mind, I think because it has started to make me feel a little sad that I have procrastinated so much this year and let joy of writing slide.
Do you have writing goals for next year?
Let me know in the comments, would love to hear them.
