Goals 2024

I decided to take a crack at [community profile] snowflake_challenge because I've been wanting to get back into journaling like I used to on LJ...uh...*checks notes*...a very long time ago.

Challenge #2 was to talk about goals, so here we go.

My personal goals are pretty basic and not that interesting - most notably I want to keep up with my bullet journal this year, draw more, and exercise more. My Goodreads challenge is to finish 40 books. And I'd like to get back in the swing of reading and commenting on other people's fics.

My writing goals, however!

- Get a short story or poem published
- Write at least 240 days (tracked via GYWO)
- Finish my secret WIP, which is 11k/~20k?
- Finish my Season 4!Arthur vs Season 1!Arthur time traveling fic, which is at 18k/...60k?
- Finish or get close to finishing my original novel about eldritch lesbians, currently just titled "Shipwreck", which is lingering at 11k/IDEK
- Finish a oneshot about Arthur's childhood/relationship with alcohol, 900/7-10k
- Just, finish some of my half-finished oneshots in general - I have a bunch that are stuck around the halfway point or that are very close to being done and I'd really like them off my plate

...honestly, if I can just get the first three done, I'll be happy. I have a feeling the S4 vs S1 fic is going to take another year or so.

I actually started a bullet journal again a couple of years ago thanks to Snowflake challenge and discovering [community profile] journalsandplanners, which ran a journal type of snowflake event afterwards :D It was fun! I hope you have great success with it, and with all of your goals! I also pledged for GYWO and am looking forward to it :D

You're welcome! I've occasionally cross-posted to [community profile] bujo as well but it's less active. The discussion posts on [community profile] journalsandplanners can be very interesting to track :D

I pledged 150K words on GYWO! I'm really hopeful I'll meet my pledge at last for the first time haha. But any word is success :D
