Having something to work toward can help you feel motivated to get to the page everyday. Try setting big goals (finish a manuscript by the end of 2022), but also medium goals (write 2 poems this month), and micro goals (write one line a day for a week, create a poem by the end of the week).
I also like to set a project for myself with my poetry–like with Church Ladies, I read through a collection of minibiographies from women of church history, and challenged myself to write a poem about each woman. It was a fun goal that had me eager to write everyday.
What kind of goals could you set for yourself this new year that can move your writing forward?
