Still Plenty of Time to Achieve Your 2015 Writing Goals

October 22, 2015 By Martha Alderson

Still Plenty of Time to Achieve Your 2015 Writing Goals 

2015 plotted on the Universal Story shows us to be at the final 1/4, The End of 2015 with still plenty of time to achieve your 2015 writing goals. Now comes time to apply all you’ve learned this year, all the discipline, experience, research, study, writing, dreaming and outreach to successfully complete your year goal (don’t have one? create one now to be completed by 12/31/15). 

You intend to finish your novel, memoir, screenplay this year – simply finish. Fall is the time to write fast.

Take the remainer of the month to pre-plot or re-plot your novel. Then devote November and December to finishing. 

Forget the outcome for now. What you write doesn’t have to be perfect or brilliant or even very good. In fact, the sloppier the better. For now, get set up, organized, purge your calendar, make space and schedule for a marathon bout of writing during the final two months of the year. 

The more enjoyable the process of writing for you, the more likely you are to write. Set up your environment to support an enjoyable process. Making your writing space beautiful and a place you enjoy. Forget the beginning of your story (I bet you’ve gone over that enough times for now) and concentrate on firming up the plot — action, emotion and theme. Revise your Plot Planner or create a fresh one. Hang it where you’ll see it as you write. Plan exactly what you intend to write in the final two months. Give yourself permission to write daily. Still plenty of time to achieve your 2015 writing goals. Believe it. See a path to success.

Visit here daily for a blog tip how to prepare for November and plenty of opportunities to win your choice of the following resources:

BOOKS

1) Plot your story step-by-step with the help of The Plot Whisperer Workbook: Step-by-step Exercises to Help You Create Compelling Stories

2)  The Plot Whisperer: Secrets of Story Structure Any Writer Can Master named BEST BOOKS FOR WRITERS by Poets and Writers Alderson “provides insight on how to create works of fiction with powerful stories and focuses on how to devise a Universal Plot, plot lines and subplots, compelling scenes, and character transformation.”
 
3)

4) Writing Deep Scenes: Plotting Your Story through Action, Emotion and Theme provides an effective method for plotting your story at the scene level


VIDEO COURSES

2) The Spiritual Guide for Writers / Secrets of Transformation 22 videos with exercises and insight into your own creativity — what stops you and what motivates and inspires you to set goals and seize your dreams.

I’m rewarding as many books and courses daily through Friday, October 29th as feels right (NOTE: No international shipping. If you live outside US, your choice narrows down to the video courses…) My goal is that you’re be set up and prepared to finish your 2015 goal beginning Nov. 1st.  Click here for details on how to take part to win one of the writing resources to support you in your achieving your 2015 Writing Goals
