Resolutions, of sorts, I guess, maybe???

A few weeks ago I signed up for inkingitout to try and stimulate writing this year, since 2016 was a total wash in terms of fic. Here's to hoping!

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

that's what I'm here for B)

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.

D A N G you are a rock star. I'm also thinking about signing up for chocolatebox but eh, I defaulted on Yuletide and I'm afraid of needing to do that again. IT'S TOUGH.

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

I managed to do 100k in six months last year which was wild o_o but I think 1k a day is a good goal esp since I usually do 3k - 4k in a day anyways, so I can build up a lot of cushion for days I'm not writing etc, plus... nano is 50k of that anyhoodle at almost 2k a day, so 315k for the other 11 months isn't SO bad. I'm a way fast writer luckily for me, my only problem is I start these grand gestures and then get disheartened or bored halfway through XD;;; I'm an ideas guy gdi, not a .. finish all your projects guy...

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=
