I had a lot of SMART goals set for 2020. Let's see how I did with my writing resolutions, check my top viewed content on all my different sources, and -- for my own sake -- talk numbers and stats for my social media. While not strictly writing related, a writer's platform can be pretty useful.
\n\nThanks for listening! I'll be back next Monday with more rambling ideas about writing.

\n\nAnd I've got a pretty bad social media addiction...

Goals aren’t for everyone. Goals in January? Even less so. Here is why sometimes? Setting goals is just setting ourselves up for failure. You need to take a good hard look at where you are, where you want to go, and what stands in your way.
