Snowflake Challenge #12

[elwinfortuna]

Challenge 12: In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

1. To break a million words on AO3! It's an achievable goal with a bit of stretch involved for me as it'll require writing about twice as much as I did last year or the year before. But I think it's doable!

2. To create at least one songvid. I've been poking around in Da Vinci Resolve for a while but haven't truly made anything yet. Time to change that.

3. To get a driver's license! The last time I drove was in 2004 in America, time to relearn how. wibbble and I just bought ourselves a new car and I'm so excited about it. (It's such a pretty blue!!!)

4. To truly and completely sort out the damn house and get my study/office set up properly. I have the space, it's just covered in stuff at the moment, and I need to sell, donate, or chuck most of it.

5. Once our craft space is set up in the living room, start painting miniatures. I'd like to be able to raise my skill levels to the point where I could sell my services at mini painting by the end of this year.

6. To make strides towards achieving fitness goals. I'd like to build some muscle, and I think I'd really enjoy weightlifting, so I'm going to give that a go. Once I can drive, as well, I'd like to go and do some hill walking (with a camera so I can take photos). And then maybe down the line, cycling, kayaking, and powergliding/paramotoring; these are all expensive hobbies but I'm interested in them. One of these years (probably at some point in the fairly distant future), I'd like to do some travelling, and I know that I need to be fit enough to handle it when that time comes.

My partner took his test in 95 but then didn’t drive again until 2017, so he took a few refresher lessons and said everything seemed to come back to him pretty easily, it’s just relearning the confidence. I hope it goes well as it’s nice to have the freedom :)

Yay, those are excellent goals!

[turps]

Those are such great goals.

They all sound doable, and I wish you luck with them all.

These sound like great goals!

I find weights really fun - personally I get a real sense of achievement, as you see progress quite quickly if you keep with it. I will also happily come up some hills with you, if you'd like a walking buddy!

Wow, a million words!

These all seem like goals that are both achievable and fun, the best combination!

1,000,000 words is such a cool and impressive milestone! Best of luck with all of your goals!!

[independence1776]

Excellent and exciting! Best of luck with them!

[saelind]

A million words!! Amazing for that to be an achievable goal!!

Good luck with the driver's license (and all the rest of it!). I really enjoyed weightlifting for the time that I did it - there's something about the continual buildup and "RAAAWR" factor that is very satisfying.

These are all awesome goals, good luck!
(A million words!!)
Driving's like riding a bike - you don't forget. You'll be fine.

1 million words is such an awesome milestone! Good luck with that and the rest of the goals! :D

[rhino_neil]

I love your goals, I love your determination. Wishing you all the best in the world. I think I might write up some goals, apart from the obvious one!

Fingers crossed for that 1million words goal! I could perhaps say that I want to cross 250k words, which would also roughly mean posting double what I have done so far. Then again, I do have enough WIPs that that might actually work out. XD

Yay for a driver’s license! You can do it!
