2019 Aims (fandom and otherwise)
Jan. 6th, 2019 07:45 amI am working on a lot of new years aims (my 101 in 1001 days to name but one) but I have been posting random aims on my various places so I thought I would post here too.
- I want to write more this year! I want to post at least one fic (or chapter of a fic) each month.
- I want to be a better commenter. I know how much it takes to not only pour your heart into writing something, but then to post it. As comments and interactions on my fics have decreased, I found myself commenting and interacting less on other peoples. But I don't want to be that person. So I am going to make an effort to comment on most of what I read, and get a lot better about kudosing
- This year I am going to draw a lot more. Just be more creative. I have already started off the year by playing around with the polymer clay, but I want to work on my pencil drawing and watercolours, so that means actually practising and posting things. And I want to try more fandom art and so I will be posting art experiments.
And while I will post the 101 list when I finish it (I am currently more than half way through. I am working from an old one, and I started just cross posting, then I realised that I had changed and didn't want to do some of those things, so now I am refining and working through things again) but I did post these on FB last night
1) learning Japanese. I've already started working on kanji again and when I have a job again I'm going to take some more classes. I want to get up to a conversation level.
2) cook my way through a cookbook. I'm thinking one of my pedlar journals since they are shorter and full of variety
3) work on my art again. I want to make the time for pencil drawing and water colours. Although I'm going to make more feathers in the next little while
4) clean out and reorganize. I've made a good start on things I've been storing at my parents place, but I want to simplify. It's one of those odd things - the less you choose to have, the less you collect.
5) keep my daily gratitude journal (my list of five happy things a day), post at leazt one dodgy haiku a week, and sketch up 12 more TDDM comics.
