The prompt for the first day is: What is Something you want to achieve this year?
Write. I want to be more disciplined concerning a set time in my busy schedule to write. I enjoy the activity and creativity of writing. My occupation is a sheep farmer. I raise sheep for income. There are times during the year, especially lambing time, that I am very busy. I am a wife, grandmother, and gardner. Although I am busy, I still need to set time apart from everything else to write. I joined Bloganuary last year, I was able to put words into a post almost everyday. This year, one post each day is the goal.
I do not want to just write a post, but write posts that are enjoyable to read and interesting. I desire improvement of my use of words in describing feelings, places, and action. Not just put short thoughts to words, and call it writing. Grow my writing skills to communicate what I feel, see, smell and hear in the thoughts I am trying to put into words to share with others.
I am working at improving my use of grammar. This one is a little more difficult as I currently am the only editor, but I am discussing with two others on assisting me with this area of improvement.
All of these improvements is to lead to a main goal, get my novel finished and published. I started my novel this past summer, and the progress has been slow. I want to finish and have this novel ready for publication the summer of 2023, if not sooner.
A simple goal when put to words, a challenging goal with applied to my life.

Happy New Year. Here’s wishing you success re: achieving those goals! I think setting apart time to write is a big issue for wannabe female authors. Charles Dickens had a wife to cook and clean and mend. 🙂
