Teresa,
Thank you so much for your video; your advice was both practical and inspiring and I feel that breaking down my goals into the manner you suggested will be highly beneficial for me and my writing!

Great suggestions, Teresa. Like that you got real about incorporating life and being creative. Too much pressure is not good for the creative mind. But realistic goals are excellent motivators. As CBI's Picture Book Expert, I can confirm the need for goals to prompt you to write. Too many people say they have "a great idea for a story." The difference between wannabe writers and working writers is that we write! Goals are one way to jumpstart the process of actually writing and producing work that might someday be worthy of publication.
