Writing down my writing goals has proven incredibly helpful. The list helps me stay focused on my big-picture hopes/dreams, and this in turn helps me prioritize my writing projects correctly.

It's funny -- it feels like my productivity level has increased significantly since I started paying attention to my goals, but really it was just a matter of working on the right things, and doing so consistently. In terms of words on the page, my productivity level has remained the same. It's a neat little trick. :)

In terms of specific goals, the one I'm probably most jazzed about right now is writing a fiction book. I've published short fiction, I've published nonfiction books...but long-form fiction I've never even attempted.
