How to Be a Writer: Setting Long-Term Goals

Part of learning how to be a writer involves setting long-term goals. What do you hope to achieve or become? What are the specific actions you need to take to fulfill your dreams? In this step-by-step video, you’ll identify your values, choose a mission statement, set goals using the acronym SMART, and outline milestones you can use to achieve those goals.
“All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.” - Orison Swett Marden

If you put time to write this post, then you have time to write. You don't have to sit for hours so that you can finally start writing. You don't have to come up with an incredible plot for a full scale novel or a short story. If you have a phone or a pen and paper, you can write. Write for yourself. A word you liked, an expression that struck you, an exchange you had with somebody or something you noticed at your work. It doesn't even need to have a beginning, middle or end and you don't have to show it to anyone. Write full of meaningless crap on a tiny piece of paper. It doesn't take much to be a writer. Success is another thing but nothing is stopping you from doing what you want.

My writing goals were swept aside this week. It was a complete disaster, literally. I was forced to deal with surviving Texas Winter Storm Uri that left me and my family shaken. No power for heating, no water--for days--forced to gather snow for drinking water. But we managed to get through it. I had little time to write. But now, I have an experience to share with the world. I'm just beginning to get the urge to put down words again. To go on living. Thank you for your video.

[@QuotidianWriter]

Beautifully said. It's horrific what's happened, and I appreciate you sharing your story here. I hope you, your family, and all Texans are able to recover quickly.

[@ivanbrave_]

Dear James, fellow Texan here. I'm also sorry to hear about the situation. It's been tough. Here in Houston it was hard to find eggs or bread in major supermarkets even this past weekend. Glad to hear you are putting down some of this tragedy on paper, where it belongs. In our case, our water didn't cut, which is unfortunate because overnight it burst two of the pipes traveling along opposite walls of my parents garage, and clogged a third in the bathroom upstairs. As I was hack sawing the copper, though, I came to the same conclusion as you: "Dude, I'm going to put down some words." Not necessarily about the freeze, but about life. Moreover, luckily or unluckily (who knows) our school district canceled school last week and even this week -- as a contracted public school tutor that meant I got to be at my computer for extended periods of time, wherein I submitted 40 different stories to 40 different venues (thank you to the kind soul who told me about the online tool "submission grinder"). But it also means I am not getting a paycheck for last week or this one. That's ok, my belt is adjustable. And these mags have a walloping surprise coming their way. But anyway, follow that urge, my man. And don't let some finicky weather get you down. Family first. Then back to the keyboard. Had to share.

[@faithrenee9608]

My writing goal is to learn how to write for myself, and not think of what other people will think of my work. That's been my problem for the past few years now and I feel like that's mainly what has been halting my creative process.

[@shaunpaulcroft]

Just started my first novel, a sci-fi horror set off-world in a tyrannical corporatist future. Blends various points from some of my favourite Sci-Fi novels/films, with an original storyline, as well as (hopefully) leading to philosophical introspection on whether certain aspects of modern day societal and technological 'progress' will really benefit us at all. I fell into the trap of overestimating the speed I could write, and have only managed half of what I set out to do in this time frame. Was recently laid off and assumed I would have all the time in the world to write, but juggling a house, 3 kids, job hunting and some 'us' time for me and my fiance (she's now working additional hours to support us while I find a new job) has been a much larger task than I could have ever imagined. Thanks for your discussions, they really do help put certain things into perspective.

[@perymachado6374]

That outro.....gets me every. Single. Time. It is also (intentionally or not) very apt for this video. Last couple of days I've been feeling burnt out on a book I've been writing since last May (working on the 2and draft now) and there are times I wonder if it's all worth it in the end, whether I would have spent a year or more on this story (that I love and will always love) and no one thinks it's good enough. But if you have a major goal in mind, you'll never give up. My major goal is to be able to walk into a bookstore and see my name on the shelf (not the bargain bin). That's why i know that even if this one gets rejected 100 times, I'll move on to the next one and the next until it happens. That is why, no matter what, you've got to keep writing. Thank you so much Diane!

[@QuotidianWriter]

Revision burnout is definitely a common experience! No matter what happens, you've WRITTEN A NOVEL, which is no small feat. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.” And yes, whatever you do, keep writing. :)

Hi, I'm a recently retired teacher and now am perusing what I've always wanted to do but never the time. The last year, I've begun my journey with watercolor and was very impressed with the on-line tutorial help I've found. I am an avid reader in my field and mystery fiction, and have started a couple of books in both fields. I decided to search for the same help on line that I found for the watercolor and luckily found you. Thank you so much for your tutorials. My short term goals are very basic. #1 to watch 3-4 tutorial videos a week on skills and motivation for writing. #2 to read/reread 4 books and utilize 2-3 of the methods of looking deeper into what you read by documenting and creating something from each as you mentioned in your tutorial "How to read like a writer". Finally #3 is to pick 2 writer skills that I document from my reading that I need to work on, then research and practice paragraphs improving my skills in that area. I'm giving myself 2 months for this. You are so appreciated! Barbara

[@slingshotdave6437]

My writing seems to come in bursts. The story is constantly in my head evolving and becoming more definitive. Does anyone else get a real buzz/high excitement reading back what they have written a week or so after putting the words down. I’m either correcting myself wondering who I was last week or the rare moments that I feel nothing needs changing give me a real boost not similar to any other feeling. The second I feel I’m not enjoying writing I stop. Does anyone else go through this cycle whe starting out? Great piece by the way!

[@ivanbrave_]

1:59 "To inspire others to create through my videos and stories." Thank you, Diane, for sharing yet another gem. You hit the mark every time. I swear, your apotheosis is coming. Now to your point, I will add that goals should be "awesome," since they ought to rock; also goals should be "simple," at least enough to "see them" in your mind; lastly, goals should be "secret," given that you don't want to "give away the gold," at least not early on, to put it in Julia Cameron terms. That said, here are my SMARTASS goals, by process of elimination: You say SPECIFIC, so right off the bat no need "To write my best short story ever, next." You ask for MEASURABLE, so that eliminates "To write a new novel this year" since God knows when one is done, anyway. You mention ACHIEVABLE, so right there I cross off "To publish 21 short stories in 2021" which I did originally write in my submission hit list, although I cannot control what other people do with my stories. You recommend RELEVANT, and thus "To post the best YT comment ever, now" would have been perfect, but it doesn't aim at my long-term goal is "To make 2021 a zero-loss year for writing." (On my last two tax returns, ever since I started self-publishing, my writing business income has been negative.) This year I want to tip the scale the other way. But you call us to be TIME-BOUND, meaning "In the next two weeks." After a whole lunchtime of thinking about it, I am determined "To revise two of my recently written short stories, to deep personal satisfaction, and then electronically submit them to two venues I believe will enjoy reading them just as much." This is in align with my larger goal of having an "income green year." Will it be AWESOME? Heck yes. Is it SIMPLE enough? I can feel it in my bones. Is it a SECRET? Positively not. But I figured to drop my own rule, if it meant adding one bright thread to this wonderful tapestry being woven underneath this video. Cheers. "And whatever you do, keep writing."

I love that you keep your advice nuanced and subjective and offer that people can make goals that suit them. Like, when I kept hearing I can't be a writer unless I write everyday, it eventually burned me out. Instead, I gave myself a word count goal for each week because I work full time and have other various things to do (as well as needing rest). Realizing that I can make up my own goals and that I don't have to set myself to unrealistic standards was the best thing to happen to me as a writer. I stumbled upon your channel and I am enjoying what you have to say so far (: I love dipping my toes all over the writer community on here and hearing multiple perspectives and tips.

Where are these kind, helpful and constructive communities for writers?

I was about to ask the same thing.

[@QuotidianWriter]

You can find them on Facebook, Twitter, Discord, Reddit, Instagram, and beyond! I recommend googling specific writing-related hashtags or group names for whichever platform you're using. For example, you could follow people on Twitter who use the #WritingCommunity hashtag and ask what groups they'd recommend. I discovered my writing groups by exchanging critiques with other writers via Reddit, and they'd invite me to join their group on Discord. Reedsy has a good list of other writing-oriented websites for finding critique partners and groups: blog.reedsy.com/writing-community/. Many times, there are writing groups at local libraries, or you could start your own group.

[@Lividaudio]

My mission as writer and aspiring author; to always read for nuggets of inspiration, and in my own way re-incorporate some of those nuggets into my own writing, whether they be new mechanics, ideas, or word choicing. Connect with other people as I go, who share the same passion for writing, and then growing into a successful writer with no expectation of becoming published or prolific, so this means keeping a shut ton of perspective but using humility to develop, improve, and refine my creative process towards writing organized stories until i enjoy the entire process, not taking pride in the forged result, but being the first fan of my process. which is what i want to accomplish as a writer

I've just watched a video on the SMART method today so this is a pleasant surprise 🙂. I've always struggled with planning long-term and procrastination. I'm in a dire need of a good planning method right now and still I'm afraid to put the new knowledge to use for fear of doing it wrong. I finally managed to jot down my first schedule for one week. I think I packed too much in there so I might have to scratch that plan. I'm hoping I won't lose my good will because of that. I guess before I learn my own limits I'll have to try different variations here and there. My writing goal: be consistent with my journal. A few months ago I managed to write every day for about a month but then stopped suddenly. I got an advice once that it's enough to just write down 3 most important things that happened during the day. It doesn't have to be incredibly long. It's important to do it every day. Planning and habits just come together full circle.

[@mrnnhnz]

Thanks for another great and thoughtful episode. In the past I had a goal of 5 pages a day. It was difficult and I didn't always make it, but I did some of the time. But I think it was a bit demotivational in a way - when I didn't hit the goal. I'm going to make a goal of at least two pages a day now (starting a new job soon, so that will curb my time for writing somewhat, but still.) I'm making a tick-sheet, and if I get 5 ticks in a 7 day week, then I'll allow myself a small treat. (And hopefully some days I'll get into a rhythm and actually do 5 pages...) The tricky thing with this book is that it's sci-fi, and set in a setting that's never been done before (to my knowledge.) Considering how humans/society could actually work in such a setting is very important, as I want the world to seem very real and consistent - it's been frustrating, because I just want to write, and I have a reasonable outline of the book already, but I don't want to rush into it and realise some details massively impact the story, and then have to go back and re-write the whole thing (or many chapters.) In a way, though, that might be preferable, as it would at least keep the creative juices going.

Five years pass and we will follow their paths, however, the girl does not know the guy is alive, but the reader does. How do I have the guy explain to the girl his journey back to her without boring the reader as he and she catch up with what happened? Thanks if you do answer.

[@QuotidianWriter]

After their initial dialogue exchange with her reacting to his reappearance, you could have them sit down and then summarize the conversation in a paragraph. That might include snippets of her reactions: "When he explained how XYZ, she gasped but did not interrupt." At the end of _The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe_, the author summarizes what the children tell the professor about Narnia, then moves back into real-time dialogue: And that would have been the very end of the story if it hadn't been that they felt they really must explain to the Professor why four of the coats out of his wardrobe were missing. And the Professor, who was a very remarkable man, didn't tell them not to be silly or not to tell lies, but believed the whole story. "No," he said, "I don't think it will be any good trying to go back through the wardrobe door to get the coats."
