smallhobbitAnd so my fifth year draws to a close.
Goal 1 - Write all the things
Yes, still writing all the things, although there's been a definite slow down over the last three months. I've added another 10![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fan_flashworks badges to my tally, bringing them up to 113. The badges I'm still working for have quite specific criteria, but I'm making progress with writing at least one qualifying fic/poem every two months. Plus I've already earned two Bingo badges which is pleasing. In the end I wrote 171,600 words last year, mainly due to 15,000 on two casefics for story_works . For the first three months of this year I've written 32,000 words so I'm looking at 125,000 for the year.
Goal 2 - Continue with the art and craft work
Rather a mixed bag. The art certainly didn't progress as I would have liked, although I have done a little sketching and the odd card for SM. I had envisaged doing a variety of crafts, including possibly taking up knitting again, but in the end I concentrated on cross stitch.
Goal 3 - Do something new each month
As my recent post shows, this has been extremely successful, and one I'd recommend to anyone. I finished a FutureLearn course on The Tudors, which I was rather disappointed in. It was promoted as including the arts of the time, and although there was a little, most of that was used to underline the importance of the Tudor kings and queens, and I didn't really learn anything knew in that respect - in fact the Country House course I'd done had been more informative in that respect.
I shall be posting my goals for the next year (my sixth) in the next few days.
