my writing & reading goals for 2025 (+ 2024 goals recap)

[@StephanieWhitson]

I also set a goal of 52 books and I read 56 in 2024. Congrats on the anthologies :) Great video ❤❤❤

[@BreeBuonomo]

56 is great! Way to go :) And thank very much! 💛

It's so inspiring to hear about others' goals!! Thank you for sharing!! 💖 I read exactly 52 books this year and I agree so much-it's the perfect amount. Not too much pressure, but still enough to feel like I'm engaging in a variety of stories and getting inspired. My husband has been BEGGING me to read Mistborn and/or Stormlight lol, so maybe I'll have to join you guys!!

Congrats on 52!! It's a very comfortable amount! Ohh well now is your time!! Our discord would love to have you 🥰

You did so great on your goals in 2024. Congratulations on the upcoming poetry anthology!!!

[@BreeBuonomo]

Thank you!! I think the simpler my goals are, the more likely I am to just get them done! This year felt good to stay simple and give them my all :)

[@auntiecaffeinecrafts]

Great job on all your goals. Very inspiring. One goal I have is to watch one writing video on YT every morning while I wake up. Look forward to more of your content

[@BreeBuonomo]

Thank you! I love that goal for you!! It sounds like a wonderful way to get you into the writing mindset and start the day with motivation :) good luck!

Congrats on getting into the anthologies. That is awesome. I've never thought of going that route with writing and it makes a lot of sense to try.

[@BreeBuonomo]

Thank you! Anthologies and magazines were something I always wanted to submit to since I graduated college (2014) but finding the *right* ones is important, and I'm glad I started to find homes for some of my pieces :) I hope I can add a few more in 2025! If you decide submit best of luck!!

🧨 🎆🎇 Love your goals Bree! Can't wait to see all that you accomplish next year. You did an amazing job this year.

[@BreeBuonomo]

Thank you so much! It was a weird year, but I feel good overall with the goals I set for myself!

[@AdamFishkin]

15 times this year?? That's stamina. Combining writing with walking is a good idea. Even with the walking pad doesn't work out, you can always take your laptop (or a notepad & pen) a few times around the block when it's sunny. Best of luck querying. Based on what I've seen in your videos, I think you're ready.

[@BreeBuonomo]

Honestly when I sat down and looked at my spreadsheet I was baffled by the 15! I'm proud of doing it but yeah it was a LOT and I can't keep up that pace if I want to write novels lol So far the walking pad is great! I'm loving it and it's been pretty easy for me to write and walk :)

[@madelinemonaghan]

Love all of these goals!! You are doing such an amazing job and I know next year is going to be even better! I have a good feeling about 2025!

[@BreeBuonomo]

Thank you so much Maddie!! I can't wait to see what you do in 2025 too!
