Right, well the time has come for me to set my new goals for the next twelve months.
Goal No 1: Write all the things. Yes, I do realise this has been my goal for the past two years as well. And I have indeed written lots of the things. But there are many more to write and it doesn't hurt to try writing new things, even if I decide against them. Whatever it is will give me a wider experience. Following Friday's discussion on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ushobwri I realised I've never written a fight scene, so that needs to be done. I also gave myself a complety cracky plot bunny, which needs to be written before it breeds with anything else. And there are badges on fan_flashworks which I have done very little for, but which I could work for (there are some I'm not interested in). And if I want to achieve 120,000 words by the end of the year, then I need to keep writing - currently I'm at 36,000 which is ahead of target, but that allows some breathing space.
Goal No 2: Read more and widely. Simply a continuation of last year. At this stage I think it would still be possible to slip out of the reading habit - or at least reading widely, rather than a few select titles. So I shall continue with this goal.
Goal No 3: Post a purely photographic post each month. I enjoyed posting the natured-themed pics last month and I think by making a post of this sort each month I'd widen my horizon a bit. This doesn't mean I won't be posting pics of Granny's pig, or Brownie craft, or even holiday pics, but in those cases they are illustrations of the theme, rather than the theme itself. I'm not a great photographer, and they'll be taken on my phone, but they should at least encourage me to look around.
So, let's see how I get on. First review should be mid-June.
