Resolutions, of sorts, I guess, maybe???
A few weeks ago I signed up for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
inkingitout to try and stimulate writing this year, since 2016 was a total wash in terms of fic. Here's to hoping!
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kalloway has a comm called monthlysupergo, which is described as an "old fandom challenges" community. January's challenge is themed prompt tables. Prompt tables. I haven't seen those in approximately a million years. I need to decide what to claim. ;3; Maybe I'll make them them drabbles! Like actual, 100 words drabbles! Ooooh.
It's time to make fandom fun again!
Goodreads emailed me about their 2017 Reading Challenge but look, I am a terrible reader anymore. /o\ I'm a little ashamed about it but there's just so many other things to do. Maybe...a book a month? ;;
Also, some of y'all track your media consumption and make weekly/monthly lists here and I think I'm going to take that up. For one thing, I really like lists. Like. A lot. Also, I want to consume more media! I have netflix! I have access to torrents! I have no idea why I procrastinate on things I actually want to do. Even when I have free time! But no more. Time to have some accountability. XD
...
And something else that really doesn't pertain to this journal at all, I really need to get my weight back under control so I'll be working out every day (except Wednesdays) and snapchatting my niece afterwards as proof. But I don't have any weight goals in mind, just working out every day. |D

At the risk of sounding like a bitter fandom oldie (I'm only old enough to qualify for "big sister" or "youngest aunt" at the most, I think), I will never understand why kids these days call their fic drabbles when they're more than 100 words. Drabbles are only 100 words! *shakes metaphorical cane*

Regarding the list, I keep a google doc/spreadsheet that I fill in for movies and use goodreads for books. Ideally I would make a little review but that is an ideal and not the reality.
Good luck with your 2017.

Using google docs is a good way to keep track! I'll have to do that too, I think.
Good luck with yours as well!

I noticed that prompt table challenge! So retro! XD
no subject
Isn't it?! I love prompt tables! I just really need to decide what I want to claim. :3

ALSO I have also signed up for inkingitout; I did it last year and it's awesome so I'm hoping my pretty hefty goal this year ends up being met in style B)
no subject
I'm hoping it helps me out a lot this year! Chances are I'll need it, haha. What's your goal?
no subject
it's 1k a day, so .... 365000, sobs. we'll get through it! it really shouldn't be too hard, I decided to pick a project of writing a drabble or short fic for each of the songs on a character playlist and it's currently at 144, so that's at least 144 days accounted for, haha! and I was thinking about signing up for chocolatebox again, but it's hard for me to write for things I'm not really feeling and writing rn is already hard, so maybe that's not my best idea.
what's your goal?? and wait until you see the sweet word counter, it's the best.

Mine's only 75k because I'll be pairing a lot of fics with fanart. I've come to terms with being much more of a fanartist than anything else, lmao. At least when it comes to certain fandoms. |D
no subject
ANYWAYS you're gonna do great, 75k is a really decent goal & I think pairing fanart with it is going to be AWESOME. that kind of stuff is always amazing to me tbh =w=
btw if you started a listography lmk bc WOW this program is awesome. I'm setting it up for now & then I'm gonna link it to my dreamwidth =w=

I use goodreads for books, last.fm for music, letterboxd for films and trakt for films and tv. *cough* so yes. um.
I tend to suffer from trying to watch too much and never getting through anything. I have a to-watch list ten miles long and will need to live to be about 300 to get through it all...
2016 sucked big time for me for writing. My goal this year is 200 words a day. If I do more, great. But even on a bad day I should be able to eke that many out...
And my goodreads goal is 52 books - one a week, can't be too hard. Last year I only did 50 but in 2014 and 2015 I read over 70 so... here we go! I'm aiming to complete the Popsugar 2017 Ultimate Reading Challenge so hopefully that'll help spur me on!

Good luck on 200 words a day! And a book a week! I used to be so great at reading but man, I'm terrible at prioritizing it anymore.
