Snowflake Challenge #2
Challenge #2
In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Wow, this is tough! My goals always tend to be fuzzy and lumped together.
Fanfiction:
Finish Jeeves And The Honeymoon
Write a fix-it snippet for Star Trek: The Next Generation that I promised to
brainwane
Write a little cracky thing for What We Do In The Shadows
Original Fiction:
Submit The Princess And The Peeved to publishers. Last week I submitted a packet of materials to Berkley Publishers, a subsidiary of Penguin. They're having an Open Submission period until January 9th.
Get Strong Spirits to the proofreader, hire a cover designer, maybe get it up on Amazon
The Devil You Say ditto, except that it also has to be typed. The original novel is too small for scanning and I know I won't type it out because I know myself.
Nonfiction:
Write at least two short essays to do with my very strange life.
Real life:
Thanks to Noom, I've lost 19 pounds! I need to lose another 21. That's a realistic weight for me, although my old doctor wanted me to lose another 30. Fuck him, says I. Thanks to dizzojay for inspiring me to do this.
Draw more.
Find a new therapist to address the two major issues in my life: my terror at putting my stuff out there into the real world, and my body dysphoria.
Not buy any clothes--I've already got a huge bureau and a closet packed full. I have an entire bin marked "Too Small" from when I last achieved my goal weight, about 15 years ago.
Get dental surgery--ACK
Phew!
