\"New\"<\/a>Let\u2019s welcome back monthly columnist\u00a0Nevada McPherson<\/a>\u00a0as she shares with us \u201cThe New Countdown.\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***
\nNow that the New Year has begun, I, like many of you, am focused on completing unfinished projects and starting some new ones.<\/strong> I\u2019m nearing the end of Part 2 of my latest graphic novel but the end seems to be taking forever! Perhaps I haven\u2019t been rigorous enough enforcing my own deadlines, so that will be one of my resolutions for the new year \u2013 set a deadline, or more accurately , a goal \u2013 and stick to it!<\/p>\n

Seems simple enough, but what is it that makes hitting a deadline so difficult?<\/strong> This project is something I want very much to complete but as they, life and all manner of things are constantly occurring, disrupting my best laid plans. Also, this isn\u2019t the only thing I\u2019m working on so I\u2019m concerned that I often scatter my energies. As a creative person with wide-ranging and varied interests, a creative small business and a full-time teaching job, I find myself constantly juggling priorities.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve decided to complete this project before crafting a new graphic novel proposal for a publisher so I\u2019ve set my intention on clearing the decks so to speak before that undertaking.<\/strong> Since creating a hand-drawn graphic novel is very labor intensive work, I can do effective, original work in short bursts before I circle back to correct, revamp and whip things more into shape. There\u2019s no short cut around constant tweaking, much like the constant rewriting of an article, essay, short story or novel chapter to get to one a writer can live with, and at some point it has to be good enough, because it\u2019ll likely never be perfect.<\/p>\n

For most of my pages so far I\u2019m almost at good enough, and for the remaining few, I still have inking to do. I\u2019ve extended my self-imposed deadline by two weeks, with plans to complete this project by mid-January. I\u2019m quite the list maker, so I\u2019ll make a list of my final tasks to complete before then. Will it help? As I say, I make lots of lists, but lists are rather ineffective without action. There\u2019s nothing better for a list maker than checking items off the list, so to get to that point requires taking action; that\u2019s the important part. The downfall of many a new year\u2019s resolution is failure to continue taking action. The promise of a new year with new opportunities to improve gets lost in the haze of everyday routine, but taking action propels things forward\u2014and that can change everything!<\/p>\n

Now that I\u2019ve told you about my new deadline, I\u2019m going to make that my new goal, and use this opportunity to hold myself accountable. Will I make the new deadline? Read next month\u2019s column to find out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy New Year and happy writing!<\/h2>\n
