Organizing Your Writing Calendar

December is the month where I organize my writing schedule and goals for the New Year. I put in dates that are of some importance to me and set up editorial schedules.  For example, last week in this blog we discussed the rewriting process and the steps I take to rewrite my books. It is a long process but it can be made longer is I do not set specific due dates.

Creating deadlines helps my process because I have set goals. For a writer trying to make money,  it is essential to create editing deadlines for books, schedule seminar/lecture dates, and months blog subjects to feature. This list will help you develop your first writing schedule. Each month hosts a specific writing challenges and the organization that supports it.
