Happy New Year

Wishing 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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year and welcome to Dreamwidth! :-) I joined Dreamwidth a while ago for the exact same reason. It doesn't hurt to have that bit of extra insurance.

Happy New Year, Hobbit! So glad to see you over on Dreamwidth, even though I'm rarely to be found around here anymore myself. :\ Maybe I will work on that as one of my resolutions.

Cheers to you and yours!

Hello and Happy New Year, Hobbit! I just traipsed over here myself, for much the same reason. It never hurts to have an independent backup, right?

I hope to become more active in 2017, whether on DW or LJ (or both), so I hope it's OK if I add you to my circle or whatever they call it hereabouts :-)
