Writing Goals for 2019

It’s 2019! Woo hoo! A new year! I like to set writing goals (rather than resolutions, which are WAY too all-or-nothing for my taste) for each new year, to give myself a direction to focus my energies. I know I won’t completely achieve every one of these to the fullest extent, but I’m going toContinue reading “Writing Goals for 2019”
