Sticking to a schedule
|
|
As a member of the ICL Writers' Retreat, I am privileged to be able to ask questions of our guest speakers. This month the speaker is an ICL instructor, Shirley Raye Redmond. Shirley suggested that writers should have a goal for their submissions. She told us that she would send out something every Friday. She gave some reasons for it, and it makes perfect sense. So I need to set a goal. Since I am working full-time at a non-writing job, I need to make my goal challenging, but achievable. So, starting in January (since I still have one assignment left in the course), I plan to send out at least 4 submissions each month. Tough, but do-able.
Does anyone else have a goal for sending out submissions? Please share!

I submit something every Monday. It's nice having a schedule to hold yourself to. I'll send things out on other days of the week, too, if I have something, but my Monday submission is set in stone.
I never thought about having a submission schedule until Shirley mentioned it. Now that I think about it, I think it makes perfect sense. I have to give it some more thought, but finishing the course will definitely give me a little more time to write and submit.
Thanks for sharing, Kelly!
