Snowflake Challenge - Day 13

In 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;

what's GetYourWordsOut? Also, I think that it's soooo important to know that we can write "badly". Art is about figuring out what you like and how to get to that point! Also omg I'm the exact same as a reader/writer word count. Under 50k to read? Short fic, but my average fics are somewhere 2-6k haha
