Moved together in the dark.

Day 03

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 have framed art that needs to get onto the walls.

I have a project I want to see through to completion, if only so I can begin a new one.

Get better at putting stuff away, not down.

Figure out how to keep things moving among all the different responsibilities, of the two part-time jobs, of classes, of volunteering and of personal health and of creative pursuits. It's not sacrificing that last one which leaves me most worried, since it's going to be three classes this upcoming semester. Even if they're online, it's still going to be a good chunk of time gone, and dropping one would give me the writing time at the sacrifice of spending a longer duration in the program, which isn't the sort of balance I'm after. So that'll be something to parse together.

I really need to work on this as well - maybe that should be my resolution for the coming year (I generally don't make them)

"Away, not down," was my mantra for a while, and while I still make messes, just repeating that over and over for a while has made it less likely that I'll let stuff accumulate.

As for balance among professional and creative responsibilities...let me know if you find the magic formula. It's a struggle for sure.

It sounds like you're nicely clear-eyed about what you want and what you need to do to achieve what you want. That's a big part of the battle. :)

Away, not down! I'm gonna print that up and plaster it all over for my housemates. (And me.)
