: Re: Do writing goals really work--what are the pros and cons? I know a lot of people strongly believe in having writing goals. In addition to daily writing goals, some people will have date specific

I personally need goals. There's a great sense of accomplishment once I've reached them. To me, that's the greatest benefit. The muse used to literally "own" me perhaps a year ago, but now I'm comfortable knowing I can change all of this later and it never will be perfect on the first go. For me, I know where my weaknesses are, and there's no use worrying about it until it needs worrying about (the second draft and beyond).

Many writers worry about their output and its quality during the first draft, but in my opinion, what's crucial is extracting that story and getting those ideas out on paper. I've since tied my "muse" to an anvil and hurled her over the Atlantic. Arrivederci and so long...
