At the beginning of the year, I made my yearly goals post. One of them was to write a drabble every day. I figured 100 words each day is doable. Of course, my brother's cancer had to ruin it a few weeks after I made the goal and I missed five days due to traveling to North Carolina, but I kept going. Since then, I have only missed two days.
The problem I finding now, though, is it's starting to feel like a chore. The fun is being sapped out of writing them. I feel drained at just the idea of writing 100 words. I worry that with it feeling more like a chore, the quality of them will deteriorate.
I don't want to just drop this goal, but I'm rethinking how to approach it. Instead of every day, I'm setting a goal of writing four drabbles per week. This way, I give myself a couple days a week to rest my muse and recharge the creative juices.
Have you ever altered a goal? Or just dropped on entirely because it wasn't working?
