My goal is to become a published author! What’s your goal?

My plan on how I WILL achieve this goal…

PERSERVERANCE — DILLIGENCE —  CONSTANCY — CONTINUANCE —  DEDICATION — ENDURANCE — PERSISTENCE —  TENACITY —  STICK-TO-ITIVENESS —   DETERMINATION — PURPOSEFULLNESS —  STEADFASTNESS —  STAMINA

WRITE, WRITE, WRITE, WRITE, WRITE, WRITE…

REPEAT

PERSERVERANCE — DILLIGENCE —  CONSTANCY — CONTINUANCE —  DEDICATION — ENDURANCE — PERSISTENCE —  TENACITY —  STICK-TO-ITIVENESS —   DETERMINATION — PURPOSEFULLNESS —  STEADFASTNESS —  STAMINA

WRITE, WRITE, WRITE, WRITE, WRITE, WRITE…

Becoming a published author is not easy. Submitting to and choosing various agencies is not easy. Putting myself out there is not easy. Waiting to hear what people think about what I’ve written is not easy. Constantly trying to focus on the here and now while every fiber of my being craves to be published is not easy.

Guess what?

If it were easy, then everyone would be doing it. Right?  I’m not really looking for easy. I’m looking for completion, personal accomplishment,  and achievement!

Goals…

There are many definitions of a  goal.  There are SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-oriented) goals, stretch goals, BHAG’s (Big hairy audacious goals), and many more.  Books and books have been written on how to set and achieve goals.  My definition of a goal is more  like a feeling.  A goal is that burning desire inside… it’s that feeling that won’t rest until it’s purpose has been accomplished.

KEEP PURSUING!

If you have a goal you want to reach, I say to you DO IT! It may not  be easy, but it will be worth it to you in the end!
