2023 Get Started Right Writing Challenge: Day 1
Get your writing goals started right in 2023 with the first ever Get Started Right Writing Challenge. For the first day of this writing challenge, make a list.
Happy New Year! And welcome to the first day of the seven-day Get Started Right Writing Challenge! I'm excited to get this year started off on the right foot and will be participating as well.
For the first day, make a list of 3-5 writing goals for 2023. These can be straight up writing goals, like write a page of fiction each day, and/or publishing goals, like submit a query each week. Or do maybe promotion goals, reading goals, socializing goals. They're your goals; so you get to decide.
It's OK if you get a little overly ambitious with some of these goals, but I suggest you make most of them achievable (even if they're tough goals). Share your list in the comments below.

Here's my list of writing goals for 2023:
- Write 1,500 words per week.
- Write at least one poem per week.
- Read a new book each month.
- Finish a first draft of novel.
- Put together a collection of poems.
- Attend at least four in-person literary events during the year.
Maybe not the most ambitious set of goals to start the year (some of my previous lists have been a little over the top), but I'll be super stoked if I can achieve all of them. In fact, I'd be happy with completing half this list by next year.
What are your goals?
