Snowflake Day 2

Challenge #2: In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

So, looking at last year's 3 goals (all of them writing), I managed only one of them. *sigh*

And I know that Everything, Everywhere, All At Once wasn't exactly the opus I wanted it to be, but it was an ending. About as good a one as a very disappointed fan could hope for.

Anyway, 2024, here goes.

2024 goals
1. Complete rough draft of The Nullifae: Agent of Change. (And it can be very rough. But she has to have closed the portal and Dion has to have offered her a job. I know how these scenes go, I just have to write the other scenes before them.)
2. Finish The Gathering Clouds (MCU: Psy-Changeling AU)
3. Get the roof repaired and the ceilings repainted.
4. Produce apricots. (I have no idea how to prompt this. Really no idea.)
5. Finish and/or make 12 quilts/major fabric works. (clothing and curtains both count).

I think that's probably sufficient evil unto the time period thereof!

ps. I'm enjoying the icon randomiser.

So, I came back to this post and found your comment. You don't seem to have been very active on DW this year, but I was wondering whether you'd gotten your oven cleaned in 2024?

Hello. You are correct. For a number of reasons, I haven't been active on Dreamwidth (or anywhere in Fandom) for close to a decade. Because I'm in Los Angeles, I am creating a locked update post to reassure the folks who still follow me that my house didn't burn down. My sticky page has abortion resources and a link to articles about abortion that gets updated when I think about it.

Did I get my oven cleaned? No. My little wall oven is still covered in grease from the last time I used it to roast a chicken. Ruined it, I did. It's only used for storage now. However, I did build an ADU in my backyard which my son will be moving into shortly (after his father died, our son insisted I shouldn't be living alone. The ADU is a compromise. If he acquires a family, he can move into my house, and I can move into the ADU.) It has a brand new, full size oven. If I get the unlikely urge to roast a turkey or bake bread, I can use that. I did buy myself a little toaster oven for Christmas. It's very cute. I can warm a roll or bake a few cookies in it if I get a craving.
