Now that we are deep into January, life has slowed down and it's time to start planning for the months and years ahead. I've been asking myself some important questions about a timeline for meeting certain goals.

Some of these goals are word count goals, some are research goals and others are the big ones like getting an agent or being published.

So I've come up with a two-year timeline on my path to being published. I'll post it here in the coming days so I can be accountable.

Do the same.

Put anything on your list. Maybe you want to finish your book. Maybe you want to craft a query letter. Perhaps you want to send your work out to twenty agents by summer or have character art created. Whatever your goal is, write it down and check in with yourself and your community.

Happy writing!
