101 things in 1001 days

Been seeing this meme around but devo79's post motivated me to try it.

 

22 August 2009 – 19 May 2012


 

  1. Exercise three times a week (10/11)

  2. Memorize a poem every month (3/3)

  3. Be more social

  4. Find out which local universities have a good writing program: Well, I found a local class I can take in January.

  5. Take a writing class

  6. Finish a story set in my own universe with all my own characters

  7. Soapmaking: make regular soap and shampoo bars




    Interesting that, out of my first six, four of them are related to writing.

It helps if you do very specific goals.
"Exercise more" is very loose. I had a "sleep more" goal and I changed that to "sleep 7 hours a night" because I needed a real number to go with that goal. You could say Exercise once a week and then count the days you manage to follow that goal.

#6 sounds interesting.

OK. Changed "Exercise more" to "Exercise three times a week" and thanks for the excellent suggestion.

I've been trying to write stories with my own universe and characters but it's much more difficult than fanfic. At least for me. And not as much fun as the fanfic. Still, I'd really like to give it a whirl.
