Eight months through
Dec. 12th, 2018 06:03 pmTime for another review of my goals:
Goal No 1 - Write all the things
I'd hit my goal of 150,000 words for the year by the end of November which was pleasing. Also in November I wrote the first part of my Spooks House Party AU, which I shall continue with next year, along with the Sentinel/Guide AU. This is a departure, since I've tended not to write long AUs. I've also been making slow but steady progress working for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fan_flashworks badges.
Goal No 2 - Continue with the art and craft work
Still very little art - I just don't seem to have the time, although I do sketch if we go somewhere suitable. I've now finished my cross stitch Christmas cards, which I was really pleased with, since that was a new venture for me. And now I'm sewing an owl from a small kit SM bought me last year. I suppose I've achieved half a goal, but even that is purely sewing and I had thought of looking wider. But when time is limited why not just do what you enjoy?
Goal No 3 - Do something new each month
October was Future Learn month, and I've since done another two courses: 'Lancaster Castle and Northern English History', which I found reasonably interesting - some parts more than others; and 'Beyond the Ballot', which was the course which originally introduced me to Future Learn. Sadly that one wasn't as good as I'd hoped - I really wasn't grabbed by the presentation. But I've added more courses to my Wishlist, a couple of which I've signed to do in the New Year, so whatever else happens I shall continue to broaden my knowledge.
There are so many things I'd like to do, and I think I've come to the point where I can't do them all and will have to be slightly selective. But I do still want to be open to new experiences.
