Long Term Goal: These types of goals do not need to be accomplished right away. What’s your big dream when it comes to your writing? Give yourself time to fulfil them, maybe a year or two.

Build Smaller Goals : With the long term goals established, break it all down into smaller goals to make it manageable to complete. Focus on what you can handle so you do not set yourself up for resentment and become frustrated.

Weekly Goals :To complete goals within a week, you have to seriously think what goals are attainable. If you’re writing a novel, you could set the goal of 5,000 words or less. Write a blog post, or finish one writing project like a short story for a contest. Keep these goals simple and within your control. A fun way to set and accomplish your goals within a week are found right here at WdC. Give it a try: "Weekly Goals"  13+: Motivate yourself to conquer your goals this week! Post on Monday; update us on Friday!

Daily Goals : If you have a long term goal, daily goals are important to keep moving forward to the big writing dream. Keep what you want to accomplish attainable. Setting a goal of 10,000 words a day is hard to fulfil if you have to work, stop at the gym to exercise, and then bake cookies later. Be realistic and set the word count to around 1,000 words a day. You’ll even have time to bake the cookies.
