Time to see how I'm getting on
Dec. 17th, 2016 12:18 pmJust a quick post to see where I am eight months down the line.
Goal No 1: Write all the things
I have passed the 150,000 goal for the first time ever. Hooray! I'm at 155,000 and with some things yet to write I might make 160,000 which would be awesome and amazing. Various projects have had to be pushed over into next year, but with some of my Twelve Days of Christmas ficlets yet to write (and there are a few slots left if anyone is interested), plus the prospect of the Amnesty challenge on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fan_flashworks I shall have enough to keep me going for the next couple of weeks. I did also have a major push at badge earning, so have four new badges since my last report.
Goal No 2: Read more and widely
There will be another post by the end of the month. This time there are some new books I've been reading, and enjoying. I had a book token from my mother-in-law for my birthday and I need to decide what to use that for. It has to be used in store, which is a tad annoying, but I might use it for some light Christmas reading and persuade SM to pick them up from Waterstones when he goes into the city centre - I could order via click and collect.
Goal No 3: Post a purely photographic post each month
I'm busy collecting photos for this month's post. Last month was almost a cheat because I used it for all the pretty Florence porcelain. Although it's been an interesting project, I'm not sure it's one I would want to necessarily continue. But that's okay, there's no reason why I shouldn't still do the occasional photo post, but come April look to having a new goal for the coming year.
I also need to find a more suitable title for these posts. Goal number 1 is currently in its third year and will continue, because it helps me to keep track on what I'm doing. And looking back does provide me with encouragement. I've just reread my original posts on setting goals and can see how they have helped. Goal number 2 is in its second year and again will continue, because I'm really enjoying widening my reading scope. Which means that Goal number 3 is the only one which changes and is therefore a true goal.
