GSWC- Day 31

Hey everyone!

I considered grouping this with the last post, but I felt like as the end of the Get Started Write Challenge, it deserved it's own post. As the end to a great month spent on trying to better my writing and knowledge of the writing world, I feel like it's ending should be a good one. I just want to start off by saying that this month of daily challenges has helped me out in so many ways. It has helped me see that all it takes to get a lot accomplished is to sit down and write for just a little bit each day. It has helped me to learn about the things that I will need to do when my book is ready for publishing, and the ways to go about getting them ready. In fact, some of the things that he has had us do, I want to go back and begin working on for my novel (even though it is not done yet). That is how excited I am about all of this! With that being said, I'm on to the next- and last- prompt of the Get Started Write Challenge (My February Edition).

Day 31-
Today's Prompt: For today’s task, sit down and make a list of next steps. How are you going to make next month as successful as this month? How are you going to make it even more successful?

Alright... So I think that a good idea would be to sit down and do one of these for each month. I think if I just take things by each month, I will end up accomplishing so much more! So, I'm going to start with the writing things that I want to work on for March.

March:

• Write at least 1 blog post/update a week
• Finish writing my novel (Write at least 250 words daily)
• Find people to read and help me edit my novel
• Prepare a book proposal for the aforementioned novel
• Come up with an idea for a new novel and begin writing
• Write a poem once a week (start a poetry binder)
• Figure out how to copyright my work
• Work on building my writer platform

I found a post on Robert Brewer's blog (He is the person who did the whole Get Started Write Challenge) and he has a whole other list of daily to-dos that are dedicated to boosting your Writing Platform. It's 30 days, but I feel like it is going to help me immensely and it's something that I am thinking of doing for next month.

Here is the link if you want to look into it: http://robertleebrewer.blogspot.com/2012/05/how-to-build-or-improve-your-writer.html 

So there you have it. These are my goals for March, they may change, but there they are for now. I'm hoping that I can keep up with this, because I really feel like it is going to help me so much on my writing if I can.
