How to Make Goals for Your Writing

You might be wondering how people can write so much on AC without feeling overwhelmed. At one point I felt the same way. I had no goals of what I wanted out of this or how to do it. To explain how you can do it I have to first tell you my struggles before.

I started this whole AC thing two months ago. Technically longer but I never had the courage to submit anything till the past two months. I would write in phases. I would write one article and not write again for a while. In two months I only sent in 5 different submissions. I felt ashamed. I only got a lump sum of 30 dollars in two months. This was not ideal to me at all.

I felt that I deserved as myself more money. Enough money as a college student to work with my expenses not covered by the school or my parents. Soon came January 1st and I decided it was time to set proper goals. I created a budget and realized that at the moment I need no more than Sixty dollars a month for everything I need. I still felt that I was going to to this I wanted to do it write. That's why I started using Excel.

Many of you might you Excel as a source to do all sorts for your work or business. I have no business or job so I created an odd layout of a budget. I made an area were I can keep track of all of my own money transactions. So far it has worked out well. Sadly I would like to admit but at the moment I only have about 12 dollars to call my own. I donated my first 30 dollars for reference.

I decided I needed a goal of how much I wanted every week at least. I decided 50 dollars was good enough for me. Even though my average earning per article is 6 or 7 dollars I decided to treat 5 as mine because of the uncertainty of how much I would receive for any one article. To reach that goal I would have to write at least 10 articles a week. I did not feel that was a bad thing because that's similar to writing one per weekday and 4 during the weekend. So with that I had my goal.
