Since this is the start of a new year, this challenge will be to set your own goals! Of course we can all make large or ambitious goals, remember that small and/or short goals are also good!
I'll share a few fannish goals and some for my offline life as well. Feel free to hold me accountable! ðŸ¤
Fannish goals
☆ write longer fics again! I'll still do short ficlets and drabbles, of course, but I'd love to write more than one fic longer than 5k words this year. This is a challenge in improving my concentration and focus!!
☆ participate in more fic writing events. I already do several, but there are a few more I'm interested in. (Will this be the year I finally finish something for Trick or Treat??) Joining exchanges and challenges makes me feel more like I'm a part of a fan community
☆ make some new fandom friends. I'm so bad at this (thanks, social anxiety!) but I'm gonna keep making an effort to meet new people 🥰
☆ watch more Thai dramas and get back into watching Japanese dramas. I just wanna explore some new things (and I keep forgetting I have Viki and can watch j-dramas there lol)
Offline goals
☆ finally take my trip to the aquarium!! I have been trying to do this for like three years now and things keep getting in the way. I'm only a two-hour drive away, so theoretically, it shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. I love aquariums and it's been so long since I last visited this one
☆ expand my garden. Last year's attempt at container gardening was great, so I'd like to expand it a little this year to include more veggies. I'll still do the tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers like usual, but I want to add back squash again and maybe okra?? (Note to self: find new eggplant recipes BEFORE you have an over-abundance of eggplant this year)
☆ get out of the house more! It's so tempting to just stay inside every weekend, but I do want to be a part of my local community more. Not just for work, but for fun stuff too.
Knowing me, I'll probably forget about all of these goals by next week and/or come up with five new ones. But I love to-do lists, so maybe writing all this down will be helpful in some small way.
("How'd you do with last year's goals, Holly?" Haha, don't ask. I don't remember)
