Snowflake Challenge: Day 2

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


I have decided to go with fannish goals again. After re-reading my last year's goals, I have to admit that I was not very successful with most of them. At least I did finish my Icon Table for [community profile] 100fandomicons.

This brings me to my first goal for 2022. I did help out creating the new table and, of course, I hope that there will be 100 shiny, new icons at the end of the year.

When it comes to my writing goals, I decided to cut them down a bit. Writing is difficult at the moment (well, to be honest, for almost two years already). I miss it, and I want to go back into a regular habit, but there are lots of days where I struggle with every word and finally end with writing nothing. So I did sign up for the 180-days-in-a-year habit pledge at [community profile] getyourwordsout. And to keep the word count in mind, I will (unofficially) aim at 50K words.

What will I write? Well, first of all, I would like to work on various writing tables I've started in 2020/2021. At least the small ones should finally get finished; the bigger ones (both of them 100-prompt-tables for 100 different fandoms/different relationships) are tricky, and I will be happy at least to work on them again.

Besides that, I hope to do minor, low-pressure challenges for various writing- and maybe icon- communities.

Audiobooks: I love audiobooks, but sometimes I am just too distracted to stay on track. But I guess it is worth trying to challenge myself a tiny bit by going back to the 'audiobook bingo' I did last year. It was fun, and it 'forced' me to try something new now and then. A new genre, a new author, a new narrator. Okay, the book can turn out to be a flop, but you can also discover an intriguing story.

Finally, I am thinking about going back to a regular (weekly? monthly) post about my 'fannish life'. A list with all the TV shows and movies I did watch, the audiobooks I listened to, and, of course, the stuff I did create. I would love to do this more for myself because I think it might be fun to go back to these posts months, years later, and remember. But it also would add some activity to my quiet, quiet journal ;)

Good luck with all of your goals! I hope that you are more successful this year. Posting regularly about your fannish life sounds great. I think I will try to do that myself.
