Yes, I do actually post more than just Molly and Schrodinger on this blog! (Much to the chagrin of their fans)\u00a0 And this year, I want to actually see what of my goals I did and did not achieve.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Looking back at my January 1, 2012 post, here are the goals.\u00a0 My updates are in italics.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, to 2012. \u00a0I have goals. \u00a0And this year, this is what I will accomplish. \u00a0First, the writing goals:<\/p>\n
1. Finish the untitled Dark Horseman Christmas story (which may become a novella, not sure). Yeah, I have no idea what this was going to be, but it didn’t happen.\u00a0 At all.<\/em><\/p>\n 2. Finish and sub the first Sapph novella. Nope.\u00a0 Still working on it.<\/em><\/p>\n 3. Write the rough draft of my Secret Project Novel. Also no. *sigh*<\/em><\/p>\n 4. Finish the six-episode arc of Tales of the Scorned Lady. <\/em>Got 3 episodes written.<\/em><\/p>\n 5. Write the rough draft of The Strange Disappearance of Santa Claus. Nope.<\/em><\/p>\n 6. Write 250 words of fiction every day. Sort of?\u00a0 I call this one a draw.<\/em><\/p>\n 7. Morning pages (over at 750words.com) every day. No.\u00a0 I started strong and then sputtered.<\/em><\/p>\n So, what DID I get done in 2012 for writing?<\/p>\n 1. I submitted a short story to the 2012 FM Anthology<\/p>\n 2. I did another Advent Story.<\/p>\n 3. I got the edits back on Last Rites.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then, the health goals:<\/p>\n 1. I will exercise 30 minutes every day, whether it be on the Wii or at the gym. \u00a0No excuses. I’m getting better at this.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n 2. I will modify my lifestyle and the food I eat, without giving up all the foods I love. This I have done, and fairly successfully.<\/em><\/p>\n 3. I will walk\/run to Rivendell by the end of the year. I stopped tracking. <\/em><\/p>\n What did I accomplish healthwise?<\/p>\n 1. I got back to running!\u00a0 Yay, thank you, Ross!<\/p>\n 2. I went mostly Gluten-Free.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally, the life goals:<\/p>\n 1. I will declutter my house by December 31st, 2012. I’ve started.\u00a0 It’s better than it was.<\/em><\/p>\n 2. I will get my finances under control by June 30th, 2012. This DID happen.\u00a0 And even the buying of a new car didn’t derail us.<\/em><\/p>\n 3. I will enjoy life more in 2012. I think, all in all, that I did do this.<\/em><\/p>\n The last one is really important to me. \u00a0I don\u2019t want to be just another drone \u2013 I want to live life, even if I live it on a budget. \u00a0Walks in the park cost nothing. \u00a0Reading in the sunshine costs nothing. \u00a0Sitting by a stream with a fishing pole and breathing in clean air costs nothing (don\u2019t need a license if you don\u2019t have hooks on your line!).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What did you accomplish in 2012?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, I do actually post more than just Molly and Schrodinger on this blog!
