Snowflake Challenge Day 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.

I don't feel comfortable setting any hard goals, I find them too stressful, but there are a few things I would like to accomplish this year:

1. Complete my 2022 Book Bingo Card: this one is a fun and easy, it's more like a game than a challenge, but doing this has really helped me make more diverse reading choices the last few years.

2. Finish watching Lost: this was on my goals list for last year as well, I am so close, but I watched the first couple episodes of season six at the beginning of last year and I found it too sad at the time, and I switched to more uplifting stuff.  Maybe it would be best not binge watch this one, maybe if I watched an episode a month that would help.

3. Write more original fiction: I did write a few original short stories last year, and submitted them for contests (I didn't win any), but I would like to continue doing that 

4. See my friends in person (if possible): I have two good friends that I have not seen since the pandemic started, one of which had a baby, who I've only seen through Instagram photos.  I will probably not have much control over this one, it is all going to depend on the state of the world, but maybe in the summer even if things are locked down we could meet at a park or something.

And that's about it, like I said I'm not much for goals, but I think these pretty doable, I hope.

I wish you luck with your goals! The Book Bingo sounds fun, and I might look into that to see if it keeps me motivated to reach my reading goals. And good luck with your original fiction too; that can be very frustrating but very rewarding.

BTW, I've seen you around other challenges/prompt fests etc.; we share tastes and you seem interesting, so I'm going to subscribe ^^

The book bingo is great fun and definitely helps in reaching reading goals, even if some of the categories can be challenging.

Thank you, and feel free to join the Book Bingo, it's a lot of fun. Also, I'm always happy to find new Dreamwidth friends.

While I adore Lost, I'm not sure I could watch it in my present state of mind/state of the world where The Great British Baking Show is about my speed most of the time. It's a thoroughly brilliant show though, and I don't have the complaints about it that some people do. I hope you get through it!

These goals seem pretty doable!

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that is not just me. I watched most of Lost, like season 1-4, just before the pandemic, after that it took me a really long time to watch season 5, and like I said only made it a couple of episodes into season 6. It is kind of a tough story to watch in tough times.

(Also, great icon)

I'd say they're all achievable goals - given a following wind in some cases. I mentioned your book bingo card in my response as well - the more the merrier!

[kingstoken]

I saw that, I appreciate you sharing it.

I'll be honest and admit I actually preferred the earlier seasons of Lost to 6 myself - it's difficult to explain why without spoilers so I will leave that there, but I am still glad I watched it all the way through. Good luck!

Thank you.

1) Last night I chose my first book of the year and had to make sure it fit at least one box on your bingo card. ;) It has many boxes actually and I just hope I can finish it.

2) UGH! Some shows just don't work well as a binge. The one I had to slow down on for it not to be annoying was The Good Place. It was delightful, but stopped making sense after three or four a day. ;)

3) YAY! I'm glad you did some last year (my original work was a BUST) and here's to more this year! *cheers*

4) I had that goal last year, and as of last week (just under the wire!) I did it! I hope the world rights itself enough that you get to do this, especially the baby! ♥

YOU CAN DO THIS! ♥ ♥

Yay, I am so glad will be doing the book bingo with us this year!

I so glad you got to see your friends.

The book bingo looks awesome! I might think about joining in for that.

Good luck with your other goals! All fingers and toes crossed for being able to see people this year. And good luck on Lost! It's definitely rocky towards the end but there's still a lot to love there.

Thank you! And we ware always glad to have more people join the book bingo.
