Writer's Diary 1

Hello, my shy screenwriters and hidden poets,

And welcome to my first proper writer’s diary entry, where I will be documenting my personal writing progress, goals, and projects. Basically, this is how I am going to keep myself accountable, because I tend to freak myself out of writing things. For example, this very blog I was meant to publish in January. I had the basics of the blog set up. Just to scared to write and post anything, even though I had a list of things I wanted to write.

So, I came up with this idea of documenting them in a way, that creates a quarterly goal system. I will be posting at least one goal driven entry every three months with updates on previous goals weather or not I completed them as well as my new ones.

All to keep my self from having an existential crisis stating at a blank page.

Another use of the writer’s diary will be to post about bookish/writing events, announcements or other thing I find important to talk about. I have something planned with my sister soon which I think I might like to feature but still in the planning process as it will be a fun weekend for me and her hopefully.

Now without further ado,

Previous goals:

· Setting up social media for my blog

· Publishing my first post and sight

· Publish links to my post on my blog.

I feel like I can proudly check all three of these off, as I have done all of this. Making it a nice fresh clean start for my new goals for the next three months.

· Publish one post every week on Monday nights.

· Write, complete, and publish at least 1 short story.

· Create a list of potential writing competitions and websites.

· Create a writing schedule and space.

· Learn more about wix and how to better my blog.

And there we have it. They might not seem like much, but they will be a challenge to me specifically after a ridiculously long hiatus caused by writing anxiety.

See you soon,

The Overly Anxious Writer.
