Regardless of the goals for writing, they're good to have. They bring the writer into a certain focus and direction. No goals mean no desires. No desires result in no words. When I made the decision to finally start writing a novel, all I wanted was to finish writing the damn thing. Now, years after completing the first draft, rewriting, and editing, I'm trying to get it published. That's the main goal for me at this moment. One can only hope.

Goals
Like anything else in life, great leaps in writing can come from setting goals. Everybody does it differently. Maybe the goal is to write at least 2,000 words a day. Some want to write a certain number of short stories within a period of time to expand a portfolio and maybe come up with a collection. Perhaps it's something simple, yet complicated like writing a novel.
