snowflake challenge, day 2: goals

ruicoHello again! A little snowfinch let me know that I could wait with my list that I mentioned on day 1 because there'd be a challenge that matched up quite well, and lo and behold! I didn't have to wait long.
It just so happens that I am not quite ready to write out all of my goals, and I don't think all will be public either, but I was thinking I could do some writing and fannish goals for the challenge!
As mentioned, this will mainly be fannish/writing goals. I am working on setting goals for the future, and tried to divide mine into different areas after watching this one youtube video about vision boards. I wrote down a few notes for my fannish and creative areas, writing being under the latter (and, I guess you could say under the first one too, in a way).
For 'fannish' I mainly wrote down two things:
I want to post more on dreamwidth, and I want to be regularly active on here in general.
I want to start posting again on AO3. I didn't actually post anything at all in 2021, and while I know why and don't regret this, I definitely miss sharing my works, and I also miss reading other people's!
The only other platform I actively use is twitter. Currently, I only lurk outside of sometimes updating my personal, and I haven't really thought further about how I want to use Twitter fannishly, or if I want to. I think it's a super draining platform, especially with the way people are on there nowadays, so I'll leave this up for future Rui to figure out.
Writing-wise, I wanted my 'main' goal to be getting around 10k words down each month. I signed up for the 150k-pledge on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
getyourwordsout, which was the closest one to my monthly goal.
Apart from that, I want to branch out and write in several fandoms again, enjoy that I fall for microfandoms, and then I'd like to focus on writing more than just fanfic -- I want to get back into writing poetry, music, and everything else my heart desires.
I was planning on getting this down in a way more structured format, but alas, that is not happening right now.
Hopefully at some point I'll be able to make a more general goals-post with an actual list, and I'm still quite happy that I already know the direction of my fannish and writing-goals for the year.

Challenge #2 - In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I do a Monday Update, and several topical weekly posts, for my own blog. I use monthly ones for communities.

This month's theme is Story Sparks, a fun list of prompts. I've already knocked off 2 of them in today's Poetry Fishbowl. Drop by and give me prompt -- new prompters activate a second freebie. Also the first freebie is already up, someone wanted a Pictish poetic form.
