Goals Update

[dizzojay]

As I set myself some goals for the year in the snowflake challenge, I thought it would be fun to keep tabs on them across the year, so, here's a second update ... where is this bloody year going????

Fandom goals

Write more words than I did last year, ie: more than 27,000
Current total 3,820 - slightly behind schedule, but up on last month!
Take part in at least one new challenge, either arting or writing (I will fulfil this as I intend to do the 'Quicky Bang' that's doing the rounds at the moment)
I took part in the Quicky Bang, would maybe like to take part as a writer in the next round?  Assumung I take part in all my usual challenges this year, the goal is fulfilled. I can add Big_Pretzel Valentines Day Drabble Challenge to this too!
Maintain and build interest and activity in the two communities that I co-mod on Livejournal, spn_bigpretzel and  spn_on_parade
The Spn-BigPretzel Valentines Day Drabble Challenge produced over 160 drabbbles, so I think that goal is ticking along nicely!

Art goals

Produce three new pictures for my art collection for the summer show season.
Second one done - Icelandic Horse completed yesterday
Look at at least one new trading avenue for dapplegrey art
Dapplegrey art products on Zazzle; goal fulfilled
Draw at least four more supernatural pictures for the convention season in May
Finished a picture of Adam last week, but just realised I won''t be able to get it signed because Jake Abel is only at Creation Con on Friday - the one day I won't be there!! DUH!!  so, still three to go here.

Real life goals

Everyday goals
Support Mr D through the big changes in his life
Ongoing
Lose my pre-Christmas weight
Lost ten pounds since Christmas, goal fulfilled
New goal: lose another stone before con season
Only another 2 pounds lost in the last month, but hopefully gym will help now!  Plus, I've now been able to replace my Fitbit, so that will help too :)
Get my arse back in the gym (will have to wait on this one, as gym membership is on hold while Mr D is between jobs!)
Gym membership reactivated last week, first day back in the gym today now that Snowmageddon has melted and Gym is accessible again!

Milestone year goals
Have at least one exciting or interesting new experience for my milestone year!
Got a couple of ideas, these have been dependent on getting Mr D out earning again, so once he has a start date, I can start planning.
Do something really worthwhile for a good cause that doesn't just involve donating money
Have an idea, and early plans are afoot!

You have your plans set out for you :D Good job on the ones already completed!

Some plans are still very much in progress or on the drawing board, but yes, it's really helping me focus :)

Well done on all you've achieved so far - and it's only March!

Thank you.

I have some deadlines, for instance, the convention pics have to be complete before May and the dapplegrey art pics need to be complete by June, but most of the others are just year-long things!
