Writer Wednesday – Writing Goals

That’s right, I’m back, and coming full force. Especially in the writing department. Which is why I felt it perfect to finally bring back Writer Wednesday!

Now, this might be more of a blog post for myself, more than anything. But I always like sharing things like my goals to people because

It’s accountability – Don’t get me wrong, I’m the worst when it comes to accountability, anybody who listens to my podcast knows this. But still there’s this sense of wanting to go full force at my goals when it’s written down, especially on something like my blog.

Writer Wednesday- Writing Goals for 2019

Happy 2019 my blogging friends and family! And of course, for all my writers out there. And since this is my first LWY Writer Wednesday for 2019, I wanted to share my Writing Goals for 2019!
