Snowflake Challenge: Set Goals

[dragonyphoenix]

 

Head's up. I drove back from Dad's on Saturday and I'm still worn out so goals are leaning towards the sad side.

Get a job. I'm ambivalent about this one. I need money but the last time I worked as a programmer, I was clinically depressed. It's difficult going back to that and I'm already feeling stressed over it.


However, a new job relates to my second goal which is moving back to Long Island. My Dad's in his early 80s and is having trouble taking care of himself. I suspect early signs of dementia. He needs someone nearby and that gets to be me.

Write one original story per month. I'd make it more often but I find it much easier to write fanfic. Also stress related to my first two goals make it harder for me to make time to write. ;-(

Hi, back again! I keep these in my dreamwidth e-mail so I remember to get back here when I go through them.

Writing in June was like pulling teeth. Job hunting had me down and made me unmotivated. This month I was inspired by another fanfic to start a new story and got 22 days of writing in. I'm 74% of the way to my goal which seems. So. Slow! 120 days was such an easier goal to reach!

I'm nearly finished with my first draft for the new story. I plan to put it on hold next month and focus on plot generation and character development. Maybe work on some older stories I've put aside.
