New Year's Resolutions
Jan. 2nd, 2019 05:39 pmMy main resolution for 2019 is to give some neglected RL stuff more attention, which kind of clashes with any major fandom projects I might want to set myself. Time and energy are hard enough to come by as it is.
But I'm going to do more fic exchanges - getting into that scene has been so much fun. I love writing prompts. I love writing for other people. I love exploring stories that might never have occurred to me if someone hadn't asked for them. And god, I love the gifts I've received! I swear nothing in fandom has ever felt as heartwarming and sitting down to read fic that some wonderful creative person has tailor-made with my interests in mind.
I'm going to finish my fucking eternal Reylo WIP, and the rest of that porn AU that I promised to a few commenters. I'm not going to attempt any more novel-length works because I've learnt my lesson and life's hard enough already. For now, with my schedule the way it is, I'll stick to writing short and mid-length fic I can enjoy without stress.
I'm going to lose a lot less time down internet distraction holes. I'm letting less fandom wank and negativity seep into my headspace so that there's more room for things I actually enjoy.
And I'm going to try - try, mind you - to open myself up a bit more to new media instead of rehashing the same small handful of canons over and over again. And to follow through on the recs people give me. Maybe 2019 is the year I finally make a proper dent in my 'to watch' and 'to read' lists.
