Snowflake Challenge 2020: Challenge 4 + 5

[armanya]

Yep, still catching up with this. Brain fog/headaches is really kicking my ass lately though so it's slow going. But a fun distraction when I have the energy!

Challenge #4
In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

I've already kind of set goals for myself privately, so it very much can't hurt to write them down for accountability!

1. Finish and post at least two fics or fic chapters every month. I only finished 4 short fics - 1979 words total - last year. I very much want this year to be more productive. I'm setting an amount instead of wordcount because this way, if all I get out is two drabbles every month, I still accomplished something!
2. Finish I Will Kiss You Soft So You Know. There are only 5 chapters left and I have them all plotted out. I really want to get them written and posted this year. Hopefully in the first half of the year!
3. Be better about commenting on fanworks. I feel like I've fallen out of the habit, and I definitely always want more comments, so I figure I need to start with commenting more myself. :)
4. Eat healthier. I've eaten so much junk and candy lately. Also got kind of addicted to Cola. So I really want to get back to better food habits this year, because I know it helps me feel healthier.
5. Do at least one crafty thing every week. I had a similar goal last year and it started well and then kind of tapered off. So hopefully I'll do better this year!
6. Participate in one fanwork challenge. I'd really like to get into doing challenges again, they've always been fun and good for kicking my muse into gear in the past. I'm thinking something low pressure and multifandom but I haven't quite decided which one yet.

That's about it! I also have plans to learn knitting but I'm not making it an actual goal on it's own because I tried last year and struggled so I'm not sure knitting is actually for me. I just want it to be. :P

Challenge #5
Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've briefly interacted with and friend/follow them.

I'm going to check this off as done too because there's a bunch of people I've left comments for in this challenge who I never talked to before (and there surely will be more! I love reading other people's responses). Also I got to know someone new on Twitter over the weekend.

I have these two, too. I've since managed to read NO FIC AT ALL, so that's been a bit of a wash, but I've managed 5 fruit/veg every day, 1 calcuim bearing thing and 1 wholegrain portion since and I do feel so much better for it - it's easier mentally for me than banning the junk you know?

I know exactly what you mean! I also prefer to focus on eating the healthy things rather than not eating junk (especially since I always crave junk when I get migraines, so it's next to impossible for me to cut it out entirely...). I find that it makes me much more enthusiastic too. :D Glad you're feeling better! I've been doing really well this week too and stopped waking up hungry in the middle of the night. \o/

Good luck with your goals!
