Challenge #2

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

I tried to keep my goals minimal in the hopes of sticking with them this year!

Fandom

1. Finish Eating Crow . It's officially been two years since I went on hiatus, and I feel terrible about it. I've learned my lesson about posting incomplete works!

2. Write 15+ days per month. (This one is a bit ambitious, but I know I can do it! I wrote roughly 800 words a day, every day in November. And while it was hard, it was rewarding and I'm glad I did it.)

3. Continue working on my Bully longfic, and hopefully finish it so I can start posting it!

4. Complete a prompt bunny list. And...pick out which prompt bunny list I want to do XD

5. Comment more!


Non-Fandom

1. Read one book per month.

2. Pay off one of my school loans

3. Try to put myself out there/use my dw, tumblr, and twitter more.

You've just reminded me of my own abandoned WIPs that I really need to get back to someday XD. Hopefully you have much better luck than me at getting yours done. You have a great list of goals for this year. Wishing you the best of luck in tackling them!

You're very sweet! Thank you. I hope you manage to get to those wips one day! <3

Oooh, nice goals and such great variety! If low-pressure accountability helps, the sign-ups for getyourwordsout are still open and they offer habit pledges! I've been participating for 3 years and find the challenge and surrounding community really nice and supportive. Good luck with your goals!

Thank you so much for letting me know about it! I'm definitely looking into it. I love these excel documents. <3

You're welcome! And yeah their spreadsheet game is really strong haha :D

Posting WIPs can be motivational but also super stressful - fingers and toes crossed you find the inspiration and time to finish yours this year!

Best of luck with all your goals and happy writing 💖

>> 2. Write 15+ days per month. <<

That is a great goal.

You might like a bullet tracker page. They're good when you want to count how many times you did something, and it's not necessarily a specific number of times or days of the month. This collection of links has month pages and a few "15 things" pages, among others.

>> 4. Complete a prompt bunny list. And...pick out which prompt bunny list I want to do XD<<

Excellent plan.

>> 5. Comment more! <<

comment_bingo is helpful for that.

Consider recurring posts. They pin down your main topics so folks know what to expect from your blog, and they give you ideas on what to write so you're not scrabbling for inspiration.
