Well, I met AND EXCEEDED my goal from last week. I had an amazing writing week and I'm not afraid to be happy about it!
The muse was musing all over the place for me and I even got a plot twist worked out! I really love this book and am so excited about the new series and the characters that I hope you'll love as much as I do.
I've been thinking a lot about what made the difference between last week and this week,and I really think dropping my goal to something small like three pages helped me mentally focus less on the goal and more on the joy of writing. Once I felt like I didn't have ten pages hanging over my head, merely three, it seemed more do-able somehow and then I exceeded the three and got the ten anyway! Go figure.
Whatever it was, I'm so glad. How did you do on your goals this week?
I'm an award-winning romantic suspense novelist, but in my free time I love to review books and my fave TV shows, as well as pass along great book deals, and eat Canadian chocolate---not necessarily in that order.

You put less pressure on yourself--that is a big difference on your mental health. If you set such a high goal and continue to fail, you feel like a failure. But if you have reasonable goals and meet or exceed them, then you get a wonderful sense of wellbeing. Yay! Good for you! That's the way to do it. :)
