Whether you're a new author working on your first book, or a seasoned author with three or four books under your belt, setting writing goals can be the defining factor for getting that book done in a timely manner. 

But setting unrealistic goals can cause frustration and, sometimes, cause authors to give up. In this episode, I'll give you several different strategies (including mine) for setting realistic goals that you can stick to.

If you already have a writing goal that works for you, please share in the comments! Maybe someone here can benefit from your success.
