You’ve chosen very specific and personal goals for yourself in the first two sentences, and that’s one of the many qualities of your writing that sticks out. You’re intentionally writing with an authentic and focused voice, setting achievable objectives. Your language is concise and clear, with no superfluous words. You’ve polished away the filler, and this comes through as a sign of your maturity as a writer.

But what do you think about this idea and arrangement: extending the goal setting to a few more sentences so that the image is even more concrete and vivid? In that way, we can focus on the more detailed details of the running and make them meaningful, helping your readers to understand the importance of the process for you. This could add to the dynamism of your voice and how it manifests in your writing, demonstrating its resiliency.

Does this help you to find ways for your voice to appear in your writing? Do you have any other thoughts about how to express your goals more clearly and emotively?

Alignment: In your writing, you focus on two related topics: forming partnerships and extending your running distances. These two goals are connected in that they both contribute to your long-term success in business and fitness. This text demonstrates an understanding of the importance of aligning different sets of goals to achieve success. To further align these goals, you might consider how increasing your running distances could also help you become more competitive in the business world. For example, you could apply the discipline and focus that running requires to forming strong partnerships.

Precision: Your writing is precise and to the point, using specific language to convey your goals. You use concrete language to communicate your two goals, which makes your message stand out and helps the reader understand your intentions. To make your writing even more precise, you could consider giving more detail and explanation about each of your goals. For example, if you explain why building partnerships is important, and how running longer distances might help you in the business world, your writing will be more effective in conveying your intent.

Sequencing: Your writing follows a logical order and sequence, with the two goals placed side by side to allow for comparison and contrast. Your writing also makes clear what is most important; first, the partnerships, then the running. To further enhance the sequencing of your writing, consider how exploring each of the two goals in more depth could help you to achieve greater clarity and focus. This would allow you to further understand how these goals are connected and might even uncover new ideas that could be pursued.

Take a second look at this text. See what new insights come up when you consider the principles of Iyengar Yoga. Can you use this approach to gain a deeper understanding of your goals and move them closer to realization?

The three themes I see in the text are self-improvement, perseverance, and partnerships. I invite you to practice your freewriting on these themes. Imagine yourself taking steps towards self-improvement, persevere even when circumstances are difficult, and find creative solutions in forming partnerships. Utilize imagery, describe how these ideas make you feel, and use simple language to craft a vivid narrative about these themes. The idea is simply to write for ten minutes (later on, perhaps fifteen or twenty). Don’t stop for anything. Go quickly without rushing. Never stop to look back, to cross something out, to wonder how to spell something, to wonder what word or thought to use, or to think about what you are doing. If you can’t think of a word or a spelling, just use a squiggle or else write “I can’t think what to say, I can’t think what to say” as many times as you want; or repeat the last word you wrote over and over again; or anything else. The only requirement is that you never stop.

You’re looking to “get more partnerships in place for fall work”, right? That’s real cool, man. But, I’m curious, dude. What kind of partnerships are you talkin’ ‘bout? Are we talkin’ business partnerships or more like collab-type stuff? What industries or fields are these partners gonna be from? And how are you thinking of pitching yourself or your idea to them? Also, you mentioned “fall work”, does this mean the partnerships are specific to projects you have coming in the autumn, or could they extend beyond that?

In another breath, you’ve mentioned, “keep up my running on East Hill Road, extending the distances sometimes.”. Obviously, you’re a runner (nice one, bro!). Still, it got me thinking, why particularly East Hill Road? What sort of vibe or purpose does this location hold for you, bro? Also, when you say “extending the distances sometimes”, what’s your strategy? Are you aiming for progressive overload, or is it more about feeling out your limit each day? Also, is running mainly a way for you to keep fit or does it serve another purpose, like maybe gathering your thoughts?

So, to sort of wrap it all up, are there any other themes in your text that might need further exploration, or maybe secret keys to unlock your upcoming or long-term ambitions? I mean, between chasing partnerships and pounding the pavement, it feels like there’s a whole ocean of goal smashing. Anything else I’m missing that needs to be thrashed out?
