2024 Goals

[elidelio]

I never make new year resolutions because I have no self-accountability, in much the same way that self-imposed deadlines don't really work for me since I know the guy who set those deadlines and he's full of shit. That being said, here are some things I could realistically (hopefully) accomplish in 2024 seeing as I've already accomplished some form of them in '23:

• Write 90k words (fanfic or original, though fanfic is more likely). This year I wrote a little over 130k words worth of fanfic so 90k should be perfectly doable! Though I am giving myself space to do less because meeting and exceeding a smaller goal is much nicer than failing to meet a huge goal haha.

• Keep working on my translation projects and put out at least 1 chapter per month. I did 60 chapters overall for 2023 which is a lot but a considerable decline from 2022. I don't feel too bad about it personally since I did get a little burnt out from working my brain, but I do want to finish tling the novels in less than 4 years (which is how long it would take me at this pace).

• Participate in at least 2 fanfic exchanges. This year was my first for participating in fanfic exchanges and I had a lot of fun, but I do admit there was a point at the end of the year where I was doing 3 challenges with very similar deadlines and I realised I had made a mistake. It was all good though ^^b. I definitely want to participate in Yuletide and the Fandom Growth Exchange again for sure, so those are the 2 that I'm gunning for. Any that come between or before or after will be nice bonuses.

• Read more books in spanish. Read more books in general, but especially in spanish. I don't want to become completely illiterate in my mother tongue rip.

I also want to rearrange and clean out my messy closet (which I am dreading but I know I must), finish my ongoing joondok fic (which is my longest chaptered fic at roughly 35k words and counting, that's a lot for me), and hopefully finish worldbuilding for a Call of Cthulhu campaign I hope to run my friends through soon (if I keep talking about it I'm sure it will make itself that's how that works)!

Oh dear. I can relate. But I'm so glad some goal-setting can work for you. Fingers crossed and good vibes sent your way for the successful achieving of them!

Hell yeah, sending vibes your way too! I don't know what Dino Fridays are but it sounds like a great ting to bring back this year (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و

Thank you! :D
Collective vibes generation should push the goals along nicely.

Dino Fridays is posting weekly dino pics - especially concrete dinos and other oddities. I'm a bit obsessed.
