I'm not sure if I should post it here or on the Writers corner, but okay.
What is your goal in 1, 2, 5 and 10 years?
I've been thinking about my life lately and decided to set myself a goal. Mostly to improve myself but also because setting a goal means that I get to have a point to work towards and that I won't be 'lost' in life.
my goal for 1 year
write 100.000 words, meaning up to a 1.000 in 3 days.
For me this can be fiction, poems and articles, but work for school(project reports) doesn't count. Outlines and research do count, story writings for school do count. for counting I'll be usings Simon Haynes' software (http://www.spacejock.com).
my goal for 2 years
have a piece of work published in a book/paper/magazine.
Doesn't have to be big as long as it's good.
my goal for 5 years
Finish uni with a master in Writing and possibly get a teachers degree.
Does have to do with writing but not immediately.
Complete at least one NaNoWriMo
my goal for 10 years
being able to (at least partly) live of the benefits of my published writing, either from books or otherwise published material.
Quite the goal, I know, but I will be working up to this for the next 10 years. And I'll be working hard for it.
Most of my goals revolve around writing, but that doesn't have to mean it will be like that for everybody. So what are your goals? Please do share.
