Packing Heat 006: Setting Goals
Last Episode's assignment:
I was the lucky recipient of a random plot that involved sharks and a piece of fruit. How did I make a big, gay, last-man-on-earth porn and a sweet M/F oceanic romance out of that? Listen and find out.I also created some characters from my junk mail folder: Basil Knight (hideous name) and Melanie Kidd.
Setting Goals
The new year is coming fast and it seems like a good time to create goals, especially writing goals, since they're so much more fun than losing weight. Even though we got random last week, I want to make sure you're NOT random when you set your goals. It's easy to fall into the trap of setting a goal like 1000 words a day or an hour a day because they're nice, round numbers. But is that really what you need?I don't know. The key is, it depends what you're trying to achieve.
Decide on your objective first.
Create your goals keeping your objective in mind.
Your Assignment:
Figure out your objective and create three goals that relate to it. I'm working on this right now and I'm surprised at what I want and don't want, and the goals I've settled on for myself. (You'll have to check back in two weeks to see what they are!)

Three Goals....
1) Establish a blog, with updates every two days for three weeks
2) Work on story "Point of the Sword" on Mon, Wed, and Fri, 1000 words a day.
3) Work on story "Random Sanctum" (working title) on Tues and Thurs, 1000 words a day
4) Have fun on weekends -- write one-offs, short stories wherever my mind goes.
