Target Goal: $100,000

Tweet

So, this year I have decided to kick my writing efforts into a higher gear by assigning goals to reach. I have realistic goals, lofty goals, and unlikely goals. The unlikely goal is $100,000 by the end of the year. It's not impossible, but it would require much more work than what I am actually putting in now. It also would take dedicated commitment to accomplish. The lofty goal is $100 per day. To reach that, I would need to hit $36,500 by the end of the year. Much less than the ultimate/unlikely goal, but still difficult to reach without lots of work. Because I have gotten discouraged over my goals in the past, it was difficult to have fun with the numbers. So this year, I have incremental goals in place, going in increments of 50 until 500, then increments of 100 until 1,000, then bumping up to 250, then 500, before 1000, 5000, and eventually 10,000. Things have been moving slowly because I have been dating more this year, and that has cut into my time a lot. But currently, I have defeated the $50 increments, and I'm heading for $600 now. My excel sheet tells me that it will take roughly nine days for me to reach it. I need to publish more stories to knock it down, so the next goal takes less time. Of course, myLotting has cut into my writing time as well, and now I'm much farther behind schedule than I wanted to be! lol Currently, my spreadsheet tells me I need just under 10,000 more stories to hit the ultimate goal. Good thing anytime I earn a little more, it knocks some stories off the total!
