2015: "Do better."

[deannie]

So, my 2014 kind of... sucked. I mean, from a goal-oriented point of view.

I had three goals:

1. lose 52 pounds (a pound a week, not unreasonable)
2. spend some time every day organizing and decluttering the house (also not unreasonable)
3. write more FINISHED fics (apparently VASTLY UNREASONABLE!)

I lost 4 pounds, net, spent about five days decluttering and didn't really get anywhere, and wrote 34 complete fics and began 5 BEHEMOTHS!

Seriously, current word counts are:

• On the Matter of Sons (Magnificent Seven): 28,000+
• On the Matter of Fathers (Magnificent Seven): 15,000+
• Whispers (Marvel Cinematic Universe): 44,000+
• Fading in the Light (MCU): 20,000+
• Inexorable Imperative (MCU): 65,000+

So, you know, I'm clearly insane.

This year's goals:

1. lose 52 pounds (a pound a week, not unreasonable—really. I mean it.)
2. spend some time every day organizing and decluttering the house (also not unreasonable. At all. And damn necessary.)
3. Finish at least two of the giant fics by trying to write at least half an hour to an hour every day.

Because, as I said. I'm clearly insane. However, so far I've met my goal for writing time every day (sometimes surpassed it) and worked mostly on the behemoths (I totally didn't work most of last night on a Deaf!Clint fic. Nope.), I'm on track to lose the shock five pounds in the first week I tend to lose when I stop drinking 1000 calories of soda a day, and... well, I haven't even cleaned the house much since we got back from Christmas, but I'll work on that. I promise.

Now... Off to work—you know? That thing that pays for the writing and the food and the decluttering.
