One of my resolutions is to set it up so that it inviting to write there every day. I spent some $$ on picture rails so I can have a rotating gallery of inspiration up at all times. I like both the word count and time frame ideas...I have always tried the time frame idea...but like you, I let other things creep into the time I supposedly set aside to write. <br /><br />I guess my most important resolution is to get up early so that I can really keep writing at the top of the to-do list.Willenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567724305245557186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221595069295050220.post-63219876325408257182010-01-03T10:00:28.238-05:002010-01-03T10:00:28.238-05:00Thanks for the comment, Sherry :)

Being Southern gals, that is sometimes hard to do at times :-)<br /><br />Someone once said to always put writing in the top 3 items on your to-do-list. Why? Because nobody ever reaches the bottom of their to-do-list. So always put it first and make time :)<br /><br />I'm wanting to finish one project and complete another one, so we can keep each other's goals in check :)<br /><br />Thanks again for commenting -<br /><br />ElaineThe Writers Canvas, Author Elaine Callowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05876278015231782761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221595069295050220.post-75080145208878807372010-01-03T00:58:32.448-05:002010-01-03T00:58:32.448-05:00Hi Elaine.

I have my space to write and this year I will write everyday, complete two projects, focus, dedicate time, make fewer excuses and apologies for needing to write and pay more attention to the writers I follow who can be a great help by teaching me. We're never too old to learn and grow.<br /><br />I give a great deal to others and this year I need to include myself on that list. At least the part that says, I am a writer, so today I write."<br /><br />Happy New Year and much success to you, dear lady.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221595069295050220.post-85448831942657767912009-12-31T14:27:56.157-05:002009-12-31T14:27:56.157-05:00Thanks Mark :)
Another writer mentioned the time...Thanks Mark :) <br /><br />Another writer mentioned the timeframe (as opposed to word count) might be a more plausible goal. My issue is that even when I set aside "time" - - other things can creep up and get in the way. I figure with a word count, I've got to finish. <br /><br />But, we'll see what works. Resolutions are not all-or-nothing beings; they're intentions in progress. <br /><br />Thanks again for commenting! I need to get your book one day!<br /><br />ElaineThe Writers Canvas, Author Elaine Callowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05876278015231782761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221595069295050220.post-58153171192964676302009-12-31T11:24:33.885-05:002009-12-31T11:24:33.885-05:00Great resolutions, Elaine.

I tend to set a time goal for myself instead, while keeping an overarching word-count goal that I don't feel attached to.<br /><br />As for the voice of the muse, I'm very aware of all that could both block and amplify it...not least because I've written a book with that very title (The Voice of the Muse: Answering the Call to Write)!<br /><br />Happy New Year!Mark David Gersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235005264532240677noreply@blogger.com
