I can't quite believe I've had three years of blogging about the goals I've set. Looking back over the past year, it's been interesting - and encouraging - to see what I've done. So often we don't think we've done much, so it's good to have a record.
Goal No 1 - Write all the thingsIn the past year I've added 23
fan_flashworks badges, bringing my current total to 88. Only a couple of new ones since last time, but one was the all important Collector badge, which still pleases me.

Other highlights over the year are my
Call The Midwife SmallFandomBang, my first long AU
Bilbo Baggins the Baker's Son, and
Watson 1918 which is now written and is being edited. Word count to date for 2017 is 49K, so I'm on target for reaching 165K for the year again.
I shall be continuing with this goal, and continuing to remember the idea is to not just write all the words, but tackle different things as well.
Goal No 2 - Read More and WidelyDefinitely achieved. I've read 29 books this past twelve months and once more covered a wide selection. I'll do a review later this month, which should bring the total to 30. I fully intend to continue posting book reviews, but will no longer include reading within my goals as such. I've added all the books on my 'to read' pile to my Goodreads profile and will be using it to keep track. I have just updated my 2017 Reading Challenge from 24 to 30 books, to make it a proper challenge. If you're on Goodreads and want to find me, I'm Small_Hobbit there.
Goal No 3 - Post a purely photographic post each monthAlso achieved. And I shall be posting an Easter post at the end of this week. I've enjoyed preparing the posts, but don't see myself continuing as regularly. It has, however, been a really interesting project and I'm glad I did it.
I'll be setting my goals for the coming year later this month. After some thought I've decided to keep going with the goals - it makes a difference to me, seeing what I'm aiming for and how I'm getting on. One of my two new goals will be a monthly blog post, the other will be more of a challenge, and I'm hoping my flist will have a role in this (nothing difficult I assure you!)
Added for DreamWidth users: I'm trying to work out how to forward post an entry. This is dated 11 April - does it make a difference?
