Since this is the start of a new year, this challenge will be e 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!

Goals

  • get the second draft/edits of The Nullifae 1: and if I rise done

  • get the outline of The Nullifae: and if I grow done, including acts and scenes

  • start writing The Nullifae: and if I grow

  • one chapter of The Gathering Clouds every two months


house and garden
  • unpack and tidy away the boxes in the lounge room(from when we had the windows installed 2 years ago)

  • grow vegies in winter

  • replace the chicken house roof

  • replace the over-chicken-house tarpaulin

  • turn the empty box on the porch into a garden

  • install another water tank

  • install a solar battery

  • finish paying off the mortgage and start putting money aside


personal
  • lose 5 kg (about 10lbs)

  • do one Park Run

  • make 3 pieces of clothing

  • get the dozen finished quilts that are cluttering up my workspace to their destination

  • make another 6 quilts


Something that [personal profile] grav_ity said while talking about her list of goals, was that there were 'goals she could do herself' such as "write a book", 'goals that she needed someone else to achieve' such as "get a book published", and 'dream goals' such as "write a Star Wars book" which are wild and amazing.

In her case, it was originally 'write a Star Wars book' and, well, a decade later... :)

Stretch goals:
  • get a book published

  • get the roof replaced with colourbond, and insulated (stretch goal because we don't have the money for this and are unlikely to do so for several years yet

  • pay off B2's mortgage


dream goals:
  • be picked up by a major publisher

  • be asked to write a series (book, TV, movie) about one of my favourite 'commercial property characters'


Today, I am wearing a tiara while WFH. I have for much of the day. Just because.

Packing boxes are the worst, good luck with all of those!

Those sound like terrific goals! (Wearing my friend hat, not mod hat, because it's not my mod day.)

I like the insight from grav_ity regarding types of goals.
