Challenge #2

In your own space, set 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, something I have only ever failed to do twice in the last two decades.
  • 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 did this religiously until 2009; it’s time to get back into the habit.

If I make a to-do type list there’s a pretty good chance I won’t stick to it for long. Last year I put together a a list of 50 books to see how many of the books, out of those I felt I might like to read last year on January 8th, I actually did read by December 31st—and I read 30 of them! That’s a pretty good record, so here’s this year’s list

Activity goals:
  • Do pilates, stretching, or yoga more regularly.
  • Sit zazen more regularly.
  • Strength train at least once a week.
  • Go to BJJ regularly once sessions resume.
  • Take a 3 to 5 mile walk most days of the week.

Creativity goals:
  • Fill one lined journal.
  • Fill at least ½ of one art journal.
  • Finish my Baldur’s Gate playthrough.
  • Learn at least ten new Irish flute tunes, solidly.
  • Make icons! For a long time, I've been content to use two, but I'd like to have some more.
  • Paint more minis.

Language goals
  • Finish Transparent Languages Indonesian.
  • Work through one Japanese language resource from beginning to end.
  • Finish Transparent Languages Korean.
  • Work through one resource in another language from beginning to end.

Writing goals:
  • Complete [community profile] getyourwordsout. In previous years I signed up for the habit challenge; this year I’m doing wordcount. I’d like to hit my word count goal exclusively through fiction writing. I haven’t yet decided if I want that to be finished product (i.e., edited, completed stories) or just total words on a page.
  • Complete [community profile] inkingitout.
  • Post at least one piece of fiction to AO3 a month (even if it is only a drabble).
  • Participate in at least three exchanges.

I did this last year and it worked out pretty well, so let's try it again. Below the cut are 50 books I need to read, reread, or finish reading. It's not a list of books I have to finish this year, or a list of the only books I'm allowed to read this year, but rather a list to see how many of the books, out of those I felt I might like to read this year on January 4th, I actually did read by December 31st.

So one of my Fandom Snowflake resolutions was to learn 40 new tunes this year. Here is that list, organized by type. It's heavy on reels, but with some four- and five-part doozies in the slip jig and hornpipe sections.

Like most lists I make, this will probably be modified with abandon throughout the course of the year. But it's a start.
