How to write a great review. The review must be at least 50 characters long. The title should be at least 4 characters long. Your display name should be at least 2 characters long. Was Miss Stacy merely attempting to burst Anne's bubble, to bring her down and make her more sensible and realistic ie: In my opinion, no, she wasn't. It's easy to dream big. We can't help ourselves, but often times in dreaming so large we create an almost impossible feat.
We set ourselves up for failure by not recognizing the realities of the task and the limitations of our own abilities. Resolutions can be achieved but only if we approach them like we do any other goals in our lives. We need a plan of actionable steps. Action plans are the blueprint for success.
We start with a mission statement, a goal that is measurable and by measurable I mean, is it something with a tangible finish line. Resolving to lose weight is far too vague, whereas resolving to lose 20 pounds is far more measurable. When thinking of your resolutions think of how you will know you have reached success? What will be your signal to yourself that you accomplished what you set out to do?
My mission statement for is a big one, bigger than anything I have ever done before. Holy crap, that's huge. I can feel my heart bouncing even as I wrote that, but let's step back a notch. Is this a goal I can reasonably achieve? Well, given that each of my first drafts run approximately 60, words, to reach my goal I will need to have written over , words. If I divide , by days I get words.

That tells me I will need to write a minimum words a day. That's not too bad. Even on my worst days of writing I average words a day, sometimes I can achieve as many as 3, words a day. The next step when planning out your resolution is to break it down further into smaller chunks. How do you eat an elephant? Forget the why, OK? Assume you have no choice. The answer is simple, one bite at a time.
I want to take that , words and break it down by project. I want a measurable goal for each book.

A champagne and chocolate kind of day. For my resolution, I have set one deadline for end of February The next is set for June and the last is set for sometime in November. This gives me a nice 4 week buffer in case of any mishaps. So now, instead of trying to keep on track for an entire year, all I need to do is make sure I am on track for each project.

I have measurable goals to gauge my progress. I have the means to get me where I want to go. That's not to say I won't have hiccups. I've made allowances for that so hopefully I can make up time if I fall behind and not get too far off track. Once I took my goal and broke it down into project goals and then monthly or weekly goals my resolution became far more achievable.
The real resolution becomes following the blueprint I've laid out. In the end, this means a lot of new material coming from me over the next year, new stories, new challenges, new murders.
