Challenge #4:
Since this is the start of a new year, this challenge will be to set your own goals!

I looked over the goals I set from last year to see where I was and then set them accordingly. A lot of repeats, but some amendments too. :)

Fannish:
  • Write fanfic again and find joy/inspiration in doing so. Last year, I wanted to participate in less exchanges and write for myself more and I ended up doing way less exchanges, but that was because I just wasn't inspired at all/slightly becoming detached from fandom. So I'm hoping this year will be more positive

  • Complete my ficcish obligations - there are some way overdue ones that haunt me and I would like to actually get them out of my head.

  • Try to write for a new fandom. I think I would like the challenge.

  • Be more present and active, in both my DW and in my chosen fandom spaces. I think I get tied up to one spot (I drifted off to Tumblr for a brief period) and forget about the rest and I would like some balance.

    Non-Fandom:
  • Travel. I said this last year too, but somehow it got away from me. This year, I would like to get out of my city and preferably the state.

  • Get organized. Another repeated goal. I have finally started parting ways with clothes and things i don't use, and I need to continue with that.

  • Be a better cook. I love to bake and I do enjoy cooking what I know, but I want to try new recipes. My mom is a great cook and I need to take advantage of that and have her teach me, especially my favorite foods that she makes.

  • Learn a new skill. I tend to get stagnant and comfortable and I'm pretty bad about being ... bad at things/not good immediately. I'd like to test my comfort zone.

  • Exercise consistently. I go through periods when I'm good and then weeks where I just fall off and I want to stay active on a regular basis in some way, even if that means just taking walks around the neighborhood.

    Dear creator,

    Thank you for participating in this exchange! I can't wait to see what you come up with and I hope the information I provided helps. I tried to come up with a few prompts for each request, but please don't feel any pressure to use them. Also, you're welcome to use a prompt listed under one request for another, if you think it fits, or use any from past letters. While I forgot to say it in my sign-up, I do welcome Valentine's Day themes, including but not limited to: characters being for/against (or a mix), secret admirers, Valentine's Day dates, Palentine's, and the like (chocolates, flowers, etc).

    If you have any questions, feel free to reach out via the mod and I will do my best to answer as soon as possible. :)
