Snowflake Challenge: Day Two

[tangeriner]

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.

Fannish goals:

• Write at least 75,000 words this year. This is also my getyourwordsout pledge -- half of what I normally pledge, but twice the amount I wrote last year.


• Finish all my outstanding Marvel Trumps Hate stories, of which there are several.


• Get a line in both trope_bingo and hc_bingo -- I have gotten exactly one line once, and it haunts me that I cannot seem to do it again.

Non-fannish goals:

• Go for more walks, even if it is too cold or too hot or too wet outside.


• Vacuum more, even though vacuuming is The Worst, because dust allergies are even more The Worst, especially right now.


• Read more new books -- I am very good at re-reading books I know I like and very bad at reading books I have never read before, even though I know I would like them.

I feel you on the re-reading front! It took several years to get back in the groove of reading new books. Then last year, I gave myself permission to reread anything I wanted to in order to meet my higher goal for the year and I still ended up with more new books than old books. I believe in you!

Thanks! That sounds like a good approach and I am totes gonna steal it for myself. I have such a stack to work through! I'm also very good at buying books, it turns out. 😅

Good luck with your goals! I think I may try GYO again this year, too.

Thanks!

Re: Dust - maybe consider an air filter, too? They help a lot!

I saw something somewhere that said that a lot of people are rewatching old favorites and rereading old favorites because our capacity for "the unknown" is maxxed out on real life. It resonated to me.

The sad thing is I already have one. Haha. Somuchdust.

That resonates with me, too! Thank you for sharing! (And I totally started re-reading a treasured series last night!)
