Some goals

[regshoe]

snowflake_challenge #12 is to set some goals for the coming year—so here are my fannish and related goals for 2023:

1) Get the longfic to 'only final minor edits needed before posting' stage, and begin editing and posting it.

2) Don't sign up for too many exchanges when this makes 1) more difficult.

3) But do sign up for Yuletide, and write at least one treat this year!

4) Record more podfic.

5) Get the Chantemerle ebook finished and uploaded, and make at least one more ebook.

6) Finish reading Ronja rövardotter, and at least start another Swedish-language book.

I'm trying to be a nice, balanced amount of ambitious! The longfic is the big one, and I'm not entirely certain how realistic this goal is—it depends how long the thing ends up being and how complicated it gets later on—but I think at the moment it is looking decently achievable. And I do want to keep prioritising it over other fic, much as I love exchanges. Both the Chantemerle ebook and Ronja rövardotter I've nearly finished, and I don't know what I will do next in either case, but I look forward to deciding.

I, too, tend to over-schedule myself, and it’s a bad habit. I know it makes my other work shoddier and more stressful to get done, but I just keep doing it. Gotta figure out a workaround for that.

Good luck with Yuletide and fics and podficcing!

I think the workaround I'm trying is just, remind myself how much I'm enjoying the longfic project and that I want to get it done well, despite the shininess of exchanges. And the exchanges will still be there next year! Anyway—thank you :D

I wish you the best of luck with all your goals. Your first three ones really resonate with me. Sometimes I can't help it with exchanges, I just want to do them all.

Oh dear, I know the feeling.. :D Thank you!

[regshoe]

Thank you :D

I'm trying to sign up for less this year and focus on my WIPs so I relate to the first and second. Good luck on all your goals! :D

[regshoe]

Thank you, and good luck with your WIPs too!

Great goals! I'm also planning to do fewer exchanges and events this year (not that I was doing that many, but they certainly occupy a lot of mental space once a commitment is made!), we'll see how that goes :) Good luck with your goals!

[regshoe]

Thank you :) I know what you mean about mental space—right now I really just want to be concentrating my mental effort on this one thing. Good luck to you too!

Your first four goals are remarkably similar to goals of mine! : ) I too am focusing on finishing my longfic...

Looking forward to hearing what you thought of Ronja Röverdotter, and I'll ponder possible other books in Swedish you might read...

[regshoe]

:) Good luck with your longfic too!

And thank you—I really like Ronja rövardotter, and I've got just a couple of chapters to go now.
