Since this is the start of a new year, this challenge will be to set your own goals! Of course we can all make large or ambitious goals, remember that small and/or short goals are also good!
Well, where do I start?
I'll start by trying to get some of my series finished. One of them is heading close to a conclusion now, and I know where I'm going with it, even though I had the exact opposite intention in mind when I started that fic as what I thought would be a one-shot. (Let's just say I tried to alter the timeline of Dark, at a time when I was still on Season 1 and didn't have the full context of the complexities of the timeline. For those who don't know, it's...a lot. The show comes with family trees to keep track of how they're all related, and since lots of people are related through time travel, it gets complicated. If Mikkel really had been restored to his own timeline, what would actually happen would have been that the whole Nielsen family line would have been erased from existence, but that wasn't a route I wanted to go down.) At the moment, it's looking possible that it'll end up being 13 chapters, and while I'm probably the least superstitious out of my family, I can just hear their reactions to that now.
I've also been saying for years that I'll go back to the Lost series where Sun went back to 1977 with the others (I got about 3 chapters in back in 2010 and then lost heart after Sun and Jin were killed off. I'm not sure where I'll take it now without killing them off, because this time I can more easily make that choice. But I'll get there.)
Another is to get my book bingo achieved and get my TBR list down. Every so often I say I'll stop buying new books for Lent, or between my birthday and Christmas (my birthday's in August), and never stick to it. Maybe this year I'll be able to make my TBR list manageable.
Another is to get my to-watch list down a bit as well (although the new season of Yellowjackets is coming soon and will take priority at that point).
To get more done with my 100fandoms table.
And I'll keep the one about knowing when it's sometimes easier to let go of goals or modify them if I come to the conclusion that they may not be achievable.
