Snowflake Challenge 2023: Challenge #12

Challenge #12

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Reading goals:

• As always, read at least 100 books cover-to-cover.
• End the year with fewer than 180 unread books in my place. Right now I have 201.
• Read three books for every new book I acquire.
• Index all my book reviews so that they’re discoverable. I meant to do this last year and did not. So. This year it is.
• Since 2021 I've put together a I need to read, am currently reading, or want to reread, to see how many of them I actually do finish reading by December 31st. Here's this year's list.

Activity goals:

• Do yoga more regularly.
• Sit zazen daily.
• Strength train at least once a week.
• Drink down my Strategic Tea Reserve. (I'm counting this as an activity because hydration is important, ya'll.)
• Take a 3 to 5 mile walk most days of the week.

Creativity goals:

• Fill one lined journal.
• Work on some kind of visual art at least once a week.
• Play through three unfinished games in my backlog.
• Learn at least ten new Irish flute tunes, solidly.
• Play Jaws of the Lion, Dragonfire, and Gloomhaven.

Language goals

• Finish DuoLingo Latin.
• Work through one Teach Yourself book from beginning to end.
• Finish my second go-through of the Learning Manx podcast.
• Finish the FSI Indonesian Basic Course.
• Work through one resource in another language from beginning to end.

Writing goals:

• Complete getyourwordsout. This year I have a word count goal, which I will count as completed if I meet it through a combination of Wednesday book reviews and fic in draft format. Bonus points if I hit it solely with fic in draft format. Hitting it entirely with finished fic unlocks legendary mode
• Complete inkingitout + participate more actively in comments.
• Archive old fics on AO3.
• Post at least one piece of fiction to AO3 a month (even if it is only a drabble).
• Finish at least one languishing WIP.
