Grumpy Beastie's Other Lair

Challenge #2

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year.

My goals for the year are still in the nebulous, "well, this is kinda what I'd like to do," stage and haven't been fleshed out into real, actionable goals yet.

I have been thinking about them a lot, it is the season, but also several comms I'm in have had their goals for the year check in posts, and I set up my new bullet journal pages and my planner for the year. Based on those things, my goals will look something like this:

I rambled a bit, so it's under a cut.

Snowflake Challenge #12

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

Technically, I have a bunch of tiny goals this year, but for this, I am going to concentrate on things I've already posted publicly and what's being tracked in my bullet journal.

My Wrisolutions:
+ archive all my fics at my fic journal on DW (I think I finished archiving all my fan fic onto AO3 last year, but I'm not totally sure)

+ if I hit 600 fics on AO3 (I think I am currently at 593), join Squidgie's World and start cross posting there

+ buy a laptop. I haven't had a computer for 6 months (7 now) and trying to write without one has been ridiculous

On Goodreads, I've pledged to read 40 books

On Beanstack, I'm doing the ongoing challenges of:
+ The Book Reporter (write book reviews, top achievement is 100 reviews)

+ Ten to Try (read books from 10 different categories)

From my bullet journal:
+ I'm tracking several personal self-care habits

+ Make my room a livable space

+ Complete the Snowflake Challenge

+ Complete more craft, art, and creative projects (and several strategies for that)

+ The 23, 23s in 2023 challenge, though I have not picked all of my 23s yet

+ Keeping a milestone list, a happy jar, and a done list

+ Participate on DW more (and several plans on how)

+ Continue cooking my way through The Adventurous Eaters Club cookbook

What are Wrisolutions? They're your writing goals for the year, they could be anything; a specific wordcount, challenges you want to participate in, a genre of fic you want to attempt, etc.

My wrisolutions this year don't look so different from last year's.

@ get Madrona's Rules & FAQs up. We have been running without them for over ten years now and while this is always on my list, usually as well as other comm needs, it's getting ridiculous.

@ finish opening my table prompt comm. This was supposed to be done by last summer, but I dropped the ball.

@ I was going to put, “make sure all of my fics are properly archived,” but this is an overly ambitious undertaking, so I am going to settle with making sure all of my fics from spn_bigpretzel are on AO3. I know I didn't crosspost anything from there in 2019 for some reason. If I get that done, I have a whole list of archiving things that should be done to chose from for the next thing.

@ Write 60,000 words in one month. This is insane and I have never come close to that, but I think I can do it.

@ Hit the milestone of 600 fics on AO3. I currently have 573. It's not an unheard of amount of fics for me to write in a year (also, I plan on doing some archiving) and it would be such a sweet milestone to hit.
