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
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
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.
これで以上です。
