My writer productivity skyrockets when I set monthly writer goals, and itβs time to share…
Jill Kemerer’s Year in Review {2019}
Every December I try to look back and remember what I’ve accomplished. Usually, it involves some head-scratching. Sometimes I give up because I don’t feel like going through my planner to figure out what I did. But this year, it was pretty easy.
I have yet to meet a writer who is 100% satisfied with what they’ve accomplished for the year. I’ll admit, I’m hard on myself, too. I always overestimate how much time I have and underestimate how long things actually take me. By things I mean writing, revising, and promo. Definitely promo!
When I reviewed 2019, I was pleasantly surprised.

I’m gearing up to plan 2020. I bought a new planner (!!), and I have a date planned with two close writer friends to discuss and set our goals for next year. I can’t wait!
The year-in-review exercise? I highly recommend looking back at what you accomplished. It’s easy to forget all the things we did!
Do you review your accomplishments for the year? Care to share them? Leave a comment!
And bless you during these final days leading up to Christmas!
You had a great 2019 and go so much done! Here’s to a FAB 2020!
Thank you, Kristina!! The same to you!!
What a wonderful list of goals and accomplishments! Also, add to your list that you are a great mentor. π Thank you for your encouragement and inspiration. Merry Christmas!
Aww, Melissa, your encouragement is a blessing in my life! Thank you so much!!
I won a book of yous in the 12 days of Christmas giveaway, (10th day, a signed copy π ) Her Cowboy Till Christmas. I am so appreciative that you participated in the giveaway. I started your book today…I love books with ranching and cowboys. I live in Florida and enjoy reading about the cold, cold west… but enjoy my warm climate.
Yay!! I’m so glad you entered the giveaway and were the 10th day winner! I love cowboy books, too!
It’s cold here in Ohio today, so I don’t blame you for enjoying READING about snow from the warmth of Florida. Have a merry Christmas!
