Is 2020 the Year of Your Book?

January (and all of 2020) is sparkly and new and you’ve made the resolution that yes, THIS is the year of your book.

Maybe you’ve even put words on a page already – and you’re pleased as punch that you’ve taken a step toward your goal.

Good job!

(What?! You thought I was going to say something else?)

Hey, I get it:

January 1 is a rather arbitrary date – but one that we hang so many hopes and dreams on. Wishes for a new start. A few days or weeks of actions moving us in the direction of our dreams.

And that’s a good thing!

The logic part of our brain says that we could draw that line anywhere – and make a fresh start no matter what the calendar says. But the emotional side loves the Big Fresh Start that happens on 1/1.

let’s look at the difference between a goal and a resolution.

A resolution is a decision (often with feelings of extreme resolve) to do or not do something.

It’s things like:

  • I WILL write every day for 2 hours.
  • I WON’T spend time on Facebook.
  • I WILL fold the laundry as soon as it comes out of the dryer.
  • I WON’T go to bed with the kitchen dirty.
  • I WILL walk every day.
  • I WON’T drink soda.

It’s the feeling of black and white of a resolution that give it all its power. For about a nanosecond—until you break the will/won’t phrasing and then it’s easy to throw in the towel.

A goal is your aim or desired result. And no matter how much you’ve studied about HOW to set goals (concrete, measurable, specific, etc.) goals can often feel too big and by nature undoable. Goals are usually phrased like:

  • FINALLY write my book in 2019.
  • Blog every week.
  • Not let the house turn into a disaster.
  • Declutter.
  • Get into shape.

Big ideas, right?

So how can we use the powerful differences between a goal and a resolution together to make 2020 the year where you do, actually, meet your writing dreams?

3. Get Ready for the Goal Setting Workshop for Your 2020 Writing

But the BEST way to make 2020 the year of your book?

A decision.

I want you to take a few minutes and decide:

This is the year you FINALLY write your book.
This is the year you invest the MONEY to get the support you need.
This is the year you make TIME your friend.
This is the year you SHARE your message.
THIS is the year.

Leave me a comment and tell me the action you’re going to take today to make this a reality for you!
