S.M.A.R.T. Goals for Fiction Writers
The S.M.A.R.T. goal-setting technique is popular because of its simplicity and power. Clarify your goals according to the following criteria:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Results-oriented
Time-bound

Specific: What length--short story, novella, novel, trilogy? What genre? What voice--first-person, third-person, limited, omniscient?
Measurable: How will you track your progress? Page count? Word count? Number of plot twists?
Achievable: How big is this challenge for you? Have you ever done anything like it before? Has anyone else? Yes, there's always someone who's first, and you may be that person, but make sure you know that's the kind of goal you're setting before you get started.<
