What strategy or tools do you use to keep track of your long-term and short-term writing goals? 📖

When writing the first draft of my novel, I had a word count goal in my head (2k words/day) but now as I edit I find it harder to organize and track tasks and milestones. Would love to hear what works for others :)

Whoa! 2k a day is a loooot. I assume you did a plenty of outlining/planning before shooting for 2k days?

If you’re editing, and need more structure, perhaps you could sit down with the goal to edit/refine one scene a day? Or depending on the your works’ structure, one chapter a day, etc. GL!

Writer.

From casts 2 epics, shorts 2 series, I craft original copy which cuts thru the dross of interminable, ai-aided, cookie-cutter crap crowding your feed!

I started w/ 500 words/day and worked my way to 2k. It was quite challenging but a lot of fun to write so much when I was just trying to get my first draft on paper. I like your idea of really focusing on one chapter/day now that I’m refining it :) Thank you!

Thanks for asking! So far I’ve been focusing on one chapter and one editing focus (for example, editing dialogue and character voice) per day and that has been going well :)
