Finish Strong

 As we near the end of the year, my thoughts turn to finishing the year strong. Where can I still push forward? What can I do during the holidays to promote or grow my social media? It’s a busy time with family and friends, yet we can still advance our goals. This year isn’t complete yet.

If you haven’t set goals for your author journey, now is a great time to get some going.

If you don’t set writing goals, it will be hard to know when you reach a milestone. You can’t wake up one morning with a finished manuscript. It begins with small steps that lead to more steps that continue until you have a rough draft that might look like a story.

Success as an author is one step after another that never really stops!

God leads you to more when you’ve accomplished the small steps in front of you.

Pray for God to show you what you can do and how to get there. It takes faith and perseverance. You can do it!

One of my goals for the rest of this year is doubling down on my social media posts. Another goal on every notepad, digital reminder, and planner remains to write daily on my work in progress. It’s been in a rough draft for over two years. It’s a mess, but it won’t be by January.

Guess what I’ll be doing in January?

Creating a goal sheet. I think you get the idea. Set some goals. You’ll be happy to have them. You can start strong and finish strong!
