smallhobbitAnd so another year of goals draws to a close with a chance to reflect on how this year has gone.
Goal No 1 - Write all the things
This is always a satisfying goal to look back on. This year I've really tackled AUs. I've written every month for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
whatif_au and surprised myself and some of my regular readers. This month's contribution Lock Up Your Daughters is a double - western and soul mark/mate AU. I've also been writing Harry Potter drabbles and verses, some of which are more explicit than my normal writing. I've added a further 15 badges to my fan_flashworks collection, bringing the total to 103. Total words since the beginning of January 43,000, which means I'm on course for this year's lower total of 150,000.
Goal No 2 - Write a monthly pastoral assistant post
This has been surprisingly useful to me, to see how things have progressed and changed over the year, and to enable me to reflect on my feelings on various matters. I shall be writing my last formal post in a couple of weeks' time. Perhaps inevitably initial enthusiasm has been tempered by the reality of time, but also circumstances change and I can see I'm still able to contribute, although possibly in different ways from those I'd originally expected.
Goal No 3 - Try twelve new things
The great success of the year. During the year I have visited Dennis Severs House and the Sky Gardens in London. I have tried to learn some Polish and a little sign language, plus using my left hand for a day. I have tried some artwork. Craft-wise I've completed a sewing project, crotcheted Holmes, cross-stitched a bookmark and completed a hardanger piece.
I've also written Ninety-nine Words and am currently working on a poetry challenge April Poems
So this has been a very worthwhile goal, one I'm delighted to have had. And overall I'm pleased with the way the year has gone.
