Challenge #4

Since this is the start of a new year, this challenge will be to set your own goals! Of course we can all make large or ambitious goals, remember that small and/or short goals are also good! Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

- i want to write and draw more often. signed up to getyourwordsout for a boost with my writing habits, and just now my partner was talking to me about how i used to draw a lot more back in 2014-2016 so that gave me the idea to start with baby steps and get back into doodling while watching something that doesn't require my full attention. even just once a month should be good. there's also my art piece for ygorarepairs but i started that last year, so....

- make progress with uploading backlogged reviews from dreamwidth to lawrencedane.com. might need to redo some of the screenshots since idr if i kept the uncropped originals when doing the earliest ones, but i'll enjoy getting those again if needed.

- and speaking of my man larry, maybe a nice shorter-term goal would be to get a post up somewhere about "heavenly bodies" in time for his birthday. i've already done some background research on the production and reception, i've watched it once, and now i have the blu-ray so image/video grabs should be a breeze. biggest obstacle really is deciding how to structure the review since he didn't act in it, lol.

- finish my makuderu fst and upload it to the appropriate comm(s) since i started it a couple years ago so it's time to stop sitting on it!!

- another shorter-term goal: do year 3 of my hellsing mini exchange with more promo and see how it goes so i can contribute that experience to a citruscon panel about organizing fan events.

five goals for 2025, nice. i think these are decent low-pressure goals that'll still help me feel accomplished no matter how stressful the rest of my year ends up being.

would be happy spreading the word about the hellsing mini exchange and coming back as a pinch hitter :> loads of hellsing fans on tumblr. love the other goals too- doable but fun to hear!

thanks for the offer! kind of hesitant about tumblr hellsing fans since they dogpiled me pretty hard when the jpn/eng makuderu anthology came out, but if your own recent experience hasn't been too bad then it might work out ok for you to play messenger. will keep it in mind!

Ouff, feeling for you that you had that experience. I won't unless if you change your mind, i totally get it. (One other option is I could make the post unrebloggable and then delete it 48 hours later to get it in front of the folks generally OK with my brand of dead dove that you're familiar with, but it shouldn't spread.)

Thank goodness for other platforms and dw!
