Challenge #4

In your own space, create some goals.

Late to the party, but here goes!

Writing: Finish An Exchange of Kings, write a NYR fic, write my chocolateboxcomm fic and treats if possible! I'm already 3000 words into Exchange, so I'm pretty confident I can keep these- haven't abandoned a fic in years, and with my headaches in the rearview again, focusing on a plot is possible again.
Edits: try to post a set a week on my tumblr. Keep improving the quality of my edits. Remember to watermark stuff so people aren't as tempted to steal and repost my GIFs- it's just the most annoying thing to see your own work come up in somebody else's post uncredited. :(
Reading: 100 books- already 4 books in thanks to Bridgerton. :)
Fandom: keep in touch on the discords I'm in, get a bingo at trope_bingo , keep up with DW reading list and comment instead of lurking like some underwater creature. Also fanfic comment Writing Month- try to comment on every fic I read this month, even if it's just a short response.
Personal: get a new job. My old job called and wants me to stay available. My hubby wants me to get a new FT position since he took a paycut starting in Dec. I'm going to look into ALT positions even though they mostly pay peanuts and expect loads of hours just because it'll be steady work.

Good goals! Good luck with the new job especially. I'm hearing about so many people looking for new, or at least different, work since the pandemic, me included. It rearranged a lot of priorities, I think.

I really need to get on Discord. I hear so many good things. It sounds like such a fun way to stay engaged with fandom.

Thanks! I actually just got a job offer yesterday! :DDD

Discord really helped me feel connected when we were in the thick of Peak Social Distancing- it's a fun way to connect without being bombarded by ads and political posts for sure!

Oh excellent--congratulations!

Boy, I would love to not be bombarded with ads all the time. I mean, I do use an ad-blocker, with all the sponserships going around it still feels like I'm constantly being asked to buy things.

Good goals, I am in awe of that 100 book goal!

Oh, I know it sounds hard, but I actually read more than 100 last year for the first time since grade school! Getting used to ebook format actually helped a lot, I think- that way I always have a book on my phone! :D
