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.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}

Relax, go with the flow, and you'll be amazed how things will work out. In 2024 I wrote very little fannish stuff in the first six months, watched an old show that was new to me, started writing like crazy in the second half. ☺️
Tackling a new fandom is an excellent idea. 👍

Thank you for the advice! I know you're right and it's good that you managed to find some inspiration in the second half of the year.
I'm hoping if I let myself get into a new fandom, it will give me that spark too. And maybe reignite my love for the old ones. :D
