I don't make new years resolutions. When I set a goal, I start on it as soon as possible instead of waiting for the new year. However, I can't deny that new years is a fun time to set some quantitative goals to challenge yourself to do more of something you already do.
So, let's set our reading/writing goals for this year!


[b][size=18](Insert name here)'s 2014 (Reading/Writing) Goal[/size][/b]

In 2014, I want to (read/write) [u][b](Insert number here) (Books/Pages/Chapters/Poems/Stories/Etc)[/b][/u]


Fill in the parentheses appropriately, post your goal, and keep track of it here!

lacheyenne's 2014 Reading/Writing Goals


in 2014, i want to

read 20 books
write 100,000 words
finish TT: Vol I, complete draft
edit the bleating stuffing out of TT Vol I, Vol II, and its nameless prequel


schedule as follows:
full TT planning by March
Vol I/II breakouts Jan - Sept
Vol I detailing, reordering March - Dec
Vol I condensation Oct - Dec
prequel breakouts as needed

snapshot (1/2/14):
Vol I: 109,864 + 476 + 1,056 = 111,396
Vol II: 21,402 + 1,460 = 22,862
Preq: 20,840 + 2,971 + 1,868 + 1,031 + 1,266 = 27,976

goal (12/31/14):
Vol I: 145,000 (max 180,000)
Vol II: 60,000
Preq: 50,000

i am not allowed to be distracted by TstW (even for a change of writing pace), anything related to 00-05, or netflix. period. netflix: i hate you. emotion_donotwant i'm allowed to pull tara's dream-material from Vol I if reformatting turns that into a cluster. i am not allowed to split Vol II. reading is done sporadically to remind myself that good writing exists and that it reads as such.


i don't hold myself to any of this, but planning can be addicting and euphoric. smile

How is everyone coming along with their goals for this year? I'm not doing so great with mine. In fact, I really haven't even started on mine...
