Snowflake Challenge - Day 13

[coyoteclaw11]

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;

Good luck with your writing goals! I’ve never joined anything like that (or done a Big Bang) since I know I’d fail completely at it, so I admire anyone that tries to do it!

I'm not going into it with the highest expectations of myself tbh. There's a lot of room for error, and I appreciate that! If I can consistently manage to get words out this year, that'll be a proud accomplishment (regardless of the quality of those words >.>;)

I haven't done a big bang before, but I have done another smaller commitment challenge where you fill prompts for points! It's more of a quantity over quality exercise haha. They accept all fanworks, so I've done art for a majority of my fills, but I always try to do one written fill per round c,:

I feel that, but sometimes creativity can surprise you! I never expected to be back to writing as much as I am already this year.

Oh that’s so cool! I’ve never really done many challenges but iM hoping to do a few this year, since I did bandom-holidays last month and that was fun. I wish I had art skills!
