At november 30th last year, I wrote on here about the resolution I wrote in my journal for 2020. To write a book. Underneath it I wrote another resolution, which was to read more books, at least 12, which seems doable considering how little I've been reading the last few years, but also enough that it'd hopefully get me to read at least a book a month, rather than only part of the year. The underlying goal is consistency.
These are still my main goals for this year, and I know I'm like a week late with the new years post, but I've been having trouble with other things (exams, family, friend problems, etc) and I was still considering dropping this journal and possibly making a new one. I'm still very tired of the name, but for now I'm staying (I say, as if I didn't actually make a new account but regret it like 20 minutes into setting it up).
I decided on these goals pretty early (for my standards, I usually don't look that far ahead unless its travels or daydreaming), but I'm still very determined to follow through with them, and they're still my main goals to reach for this year.
By a book I basically mean a novel, but maybe shorter than novel length. Maybe a super long novel length. You never know. I probably just should've used the word story, I just knew I wanted to write something original, personal, and just for me. I'm not even planning on sharing it with anyone, but that might change if I get talking with some writer friends again, but my main goal is just to make something for me alone, where I feel no pressure of knowing someone might have to read this after. It's all about meeting my needs and making me satisfied. And I can't wait.
Well, I can, because I have one more exam coming up, but after that... nothing holding me back :) except myself, but I'm ready to deal with that again. For this goal, it's not as much consistency yet, but to get back into and comfortable with writing.

getyourwordsout again, putting my goal a bit lower, realistic but still something I'll need to fight for, pretty much like my first year of joining - 150k. I hope we can all do our best and reach our goals this year. ♥
