Online Central Point: New Year Goals

A new year brings new possibilities for your writing. But how do you turn those big ideas into goals you can actually achieve? Join the Central Point Chapter ONLINE with Executive Director Kate Ristau on Saturday, January 2, at 2-3PM for a practical workshop on setting writing goals for the year ahead.

We’ll talk about identifying what you want to accomplish, breaking larger projects into manageable steps, and making time for writing alongside the other demands of everyday life. We’ll also explore how to set realistic deadlines, stay accountable, and adjust your goals when life takes an unexpected turn.

Whether you’re starting a new project, finishing a draft, submitting your work, or simply hoping to write more consistently, this is a chance to make a plan for the year ahead. Bring your ideas, your questions, and your hopes for 2027!
