In your own space, create some goals. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Daily: stop skipping breakfasts if I'm out of bed before 10 AM. I have banana bread in the freezer, protein bars in the cabinet, and cans of beans near my tea stash. I don't have an excuse for not having a small amount of caloric intake in the morning.
Weekly: at least three free weight workouts and at least one full session of PT. The weights are easy, and the full PT can take a while, so getting used to doing that again counts as a goal, at least in my head.
Monthly: at least four query letters to agents and publishing houses. It could be four on the first day or the last one. It could be two one day, and two another. It could be as high as twenty, if circumstances align in such a way as to make that genuinely feasible. And four has to be the absolute minimum to keep a sense of momentum.
Yearly: finish this post-canon Buffy kidfic and start editing it into shape. It's hit six digits of words and it isn't slowing down, and as much fun as I'm having telling myself the story in the first draft, I don't know if the story I'm currently telling myself is what the story will be when the time comes to tell it to other people. To figure that out, I need to finish it. So the goal is for the end of the year, because it'll be done when it's done.
