Writing Goals 2026

As a writer, setting goals each year will give you a path to follow. Each item you cross off your list will provide a sense of accomplishment. You might add new goals as you go along and find additional tasks to do.

Each January, I set myself new creative and business-related writing goals. It’s time to see what was accomplished in the past year and what carries over to the new year.
