Short Term Goals To Improve Writing Career

Today I took a bit of time and thought about what I need to do to hit the next stage as a writer.

I came up with a couple more goals.

I need to read more. Read more fiction. Read more of everything. I love the idiot box a little too much. I need to read more of what is being published now rather than ten years ago. The last couple of years I have slacked.

Network, Network, Network. This shouldn’t be hard for me. I have been doing this technical writing for twelve years. I know people in the business. I have decent connections. Why do I find excuses to not do conventions? I think it boils down to a lack of confidence. I’m reminding myself that you have to work and push to make things happen.

Improve my wiki and use it to push myself a bit more. I can add skins and other interesting bits.
