smallhobbitWishing you all a Happy New Year!
And so to the resolutions - yeah right!
First of all, like many others, I've copied my LJ onto DW (where I'm smallhobbit). I'm not sure whether this is just a kneejerk reaction to LJ moving its servers to Russia. At first I wasn't keen on the idea, but then I realised how many of my blogposts I would lose if anything happened to LJ. (My fics are all on AO3, or were drabbles of the moment, so I'm not worried about them.) And I do refer back to things I've written, so it seemed wise to at least have a backup.
For ease of cross-posting I need to post to DW rather than LJ, so I've resolved to try doing so for a month and see how I get on. Up to now I've preferred LJ, although there are a couple of comms in DW I'm a member of. Time will no doubt tell.
Secondly, I've committed myself on Goodreads to read 24 books in 2017. That should be doable, although whether I remember to record them is another matter.
Thirdly, and the most important, not exactly, resolution. I may not be able to do much to influence the general course of 2017, but if I can make the year just a little better for some people, even for a short while, then that is what I resolve to do. Maybe just smiling at someone, making them laugh, leaving a positive comment on AO3. My Brownies are supposed to do a good turn every day, and I intend to do likewise.
