10 months in
Feb. 8th, 2019 02:11 pmI've made a few new friends in the last couple of months on LJ and DW, which is great, but may lead to some confusion when I review my annual goals and how I'm getting on with them. Because I set my goals in April, so a year runs from May to April. This is partly historical: when I first set my goals it was April and I've kept to the same pattern. But also I find April a far more realistic time to set goals than in the slightly strange space between Christmas and New Year. So, without further ado:
Goal No 1 - Write all the things
Since this included 12 Days of Christmas plus One there was easily a wide selection, including Snocks, Rudybago and The Merry Wives of Windsor. Words wise I'm down since the beginning of the year (I count those in standard years), but I'm signed up for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
100fandoms , which should guarantee some new and very one-offs, plus fan_flashworks is running a bingo which was irresistible.
Goal No 2 - Continue with the art and craft work
Apart from sketching some of the Alfred Munnings, I'm just not drawing. I like the idea, but it would mean not doing something else. The cross stitch however continues to progress, in that I do some most evenings, the area of canvas covered doesn't increase particularly quickly.
Goal No 3 - Do something new each month
December was the Christmas wreath, January I began Hungarian, so there are three months to go, and I have already planned what they will be.
It's also the time for me to start considering what I shall choose as my goals for 2019/20. Goal No 1 will remain the same, although I'm toying with looking at perhaps adding some specific ideas. Goal No 2 needs revamping - I'm definitely doing more craft work, or at least needlecraft, but at the moment I don't have time for anything else. Goal No 3 has if anything (in combination with last year's try 12 new things) been over successful, in that I've found so many new things I can't actually do them all.
