It's almost here!
For those of you who work a typical Monday-Friday job, do you ever get that feeling by, say, Friday afternoon, where you're just sort of done with the week? You're ready for it to be over.
Well, I'm feeling like that but for the entire year.  I'm seriously ready to be done with 2018.
I'm not quite one to proclaim resolutions, but I'm a big fan of goals, which is pretty much the same thing. I'm looking forward to my goals for 2019, and I have some tips to share on setting goals for yourself.
The number one rule (for me, anyway) for keeping my resolutions or goals is to be realistic and set small goals. (Okay, I guess that's technically numbers one and two rules.) It's great if your goal is to get published in 2019, but without a plan, that's a bit vague. Maybe a simpler goal would be a specific number of submissions.
If your goal is to be more active on Writing.Com, to enter more contests, for example, a good goal would be: Enter one contest per month.
Write your goals down and keep them within eyesight. For me, that's the only way I can keep them in my mind consistently. I even once made a points system where I got points for individual goals. It worked pretty well!
The key to achieving goals, I think, is to know yourself. Know what will motivate you and what will be a realistic but challenging goal that you can reach.
I wish you all a happy and successful 2019! 
As always, keep on writing!

My last newsletter, ("Contests & Activities Newsletter (November 21, 2018)" ), talked about "doing the work." Here is some feedback from last week's Newsletter readers:
No feedback?!  There's still time to respond to this newsletter!
