Episode 32- How To Review Writing Goals
Episode 32- How To Review Writing Goals
Pete and Laura are back in the writers’ room. Back in January we shared an episode about writing goals (Episode 10). We looked at how to set writing goals and how to measure them, but 6 months into the year where are we with these goals?
Join us this week as we talk about the mid-year check-in and how we can assess where we are with our goals as we reach the halfway point of 2021.
Why should we review goals?
How do we review goals?
What happens if goals have gone to pot?
What are your goals for the next 6 months?
Recommended Product of the Week - The Prompt Box
Have you ever stared at a blank screen and felt stuck for words? Like all your ideas have dried up. Are you feeling empty or uninspired? Do you need help to get your ideas moving? Or do you want to inject some joy back into your creative writing? The Prompt Box can help.
You don’t need to worry about finding those ideas anymore because our monthly writing prompt subscription box is here to help. Each month you’ll get a collection of bespoke and unique creative writing prompts delivered to your door, to get you unblocked and writing again. And just like how no person or story is the same, no box of ideas is the same either.
Laura is reading – Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most - Greg McKeown
“Perfectionism makes essential projects hard to start, self-doubt makes them hard to finish, and trying to do too much, too fast, makes it hard to sustain momentum.”
Peter is reading and very enthusiastic about – Successful Aging: A Neuroscientist Explores the Power and Potential of Our Lives - Daniel J. Levitin
“I argue for a very different vision of old age, one that sees our final decades as a period of blossoming, a resurgence of life that does not chase after our younger years, but instead embraces the gifts that time can bring.”
The 3% Club
