coyoteclaw11In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.
Gosh... I did a few resolutions on New Year's, but I think some have already... shifted if not changed. Previously, I set a modest goal of writing 100 words a week because I really want to start writing this year (I used to, but I stopped as I got more confident with my drawing and far less confident with my writing...). Then, I joined GetYourWordsOut, so I guess I'm committed to a far bit more than that... as in 400 words a day more... Nevertheless, I'll stick to it!
I've got a really important lesson to learn, and that is: it's okay to write badly! I always tell people what makes a good artist isn't talent. It's the passion to persevere enough to become good, and I think I really need to apply that to writing. If I want to become a good writer, I need to write... so, I will!!
As for specific goals... hmm. I think I'd like to finish a WIP... my second goal is to write a single 5k story... as a stretch goal: 10k! It's kinda funny how as a reader, I look at anything under 50k as a short fic, but as a writer, I struggle to hit 500 words & marvel at anything over 1k fghjkl;
