hi. look at me. blogging twice in a week. who am I?

anyways yeah I think I failed a LOT of my goals, but in my defence . . . it was a fucking weird year. at this point I’m sort of just proud of myself for surviving tbh, so yeah

I honestly don’t even know what to say here because 2020 was hands down the weirdest fucking year of my life and all my plans and stuff were uprooted but I also did some things I’m really proud of, so yeah I guess like . . . despite failing a lot of my goals, I wasn’t totally unproductive? I wrote two books! (and made a lot of headway on a few others)! I baked a bunch of cool things! I grew a lot more comfortable in parts of myself! I started blogging again and I read a lot and I started grade 12 and yeah I did shit

Reading Goals

• Read 100 books – I did this one!! I actually lowered my goal to 80 in the summer because I was super behind, but I managed to catch up and read 100 books! I finished about 20 hours before the end of the year, but I did it and I’m honestly proud of myself because this year was rough
• Get out of this damned reading slump – um? this was? a very weird goal? I got out of a slump and back into one and out and in and out but! I’ve had a really great couple of months reading-wise, and I think I’ve really been enjoying reading a lot more again lately, so I guess I won this one?
• Take part in some readathons – I had zero recollection of wanting t do this—didn’t happen and honestly I don’t care that much I don’t think readathons really vibe for me 99% of the time
• Read my ebooks – HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IMAGINE THAT pls I desperately need to do this wow I have so many I think I read one (1) backlog ebook all year

Blogging Goals

• Actually blog. Ideally at least 2-3 times a month – omg imagine that wow no not at all I have so few posts this year and most of them were from october
• Redesign my blog – yes! I did this! as you can see! and I love it and I’m so proud of myself for this! I adore my new design and ahhhh I’ve been meaning to do this for years

Life Goals

• Succeed at the online uni course my parents talked me into taking – yes! I succeeded! with decent grades too. now to never ever take a course that pretentious ever again because that was a hell experience that I would like to never replicate
• Get into theatre again! – in my defence: there’s a pandemic. so like no but this one was genuinely out of my control (also though damn I miss it so much 😭there was a script in the book I was reading the other day and I started trying to act it out alone on my own at two am welp)
• Not stay up until 1 am writing blog posts – I mean this wasn’t really an issue since I wasn’t writing blog posts but if the intention was not stay up to two am at all,,,,, hahahahahaha yeah I failed
• Figure out… some stuff – hey op? what does this mean? oh right I’m op and I don’t fucking know what this means help. I guess I was trying to be vague? because it was probably personal? but hell if I know what it was
• Spend less time refreshing social media again and again and again – I think I succeeded at this!! I’m still on social media too much, but I’ve been a lot better at not letting it be a total time suck lately and I’m proud of that

Reading Goals

• Read 75 books – I mean deep down my goal is 100 books still, but I’ll also be moving out and starting college, so I want to aim lower in case I can’t hit 100
• Read my friends books – I have a few I desperately need to read and I’m the worst so I haven’t yet and 2021 is the year I fix that
• READ MY EBOOKS – I have so many ebooks and I really need to hurry up and get through them because it’s just ridiculous at this point
• Clean out my TBR and either read some of the backlist books or remove them – please my tbr is so long and some of the books on there just don’t interest me anymore and others,,, I either need to read or accept that im not reading them and remove them
• Finish some series – like pls I have so many half-read series it’s an issue

Writing Goals

• Finish my three current WIPs – I keep starting new ones and not finishing my old ones tis an issue. but! I will finish! this year! in the next few months!
• Write this short story – I have a short story I really want to write but I keep . . . not
• Win both camp nano’s – this is just sorta obvious but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do November nano next year so I’m extra determined on the camps
• Maybe draft my sleeping beauty book (or at least start) – I’ve been wanting to draft this book for years but I’m just not ready yet . . . maybe this year tho
• Write one of my sequels – I have two series started and would like to continue at least one of them this year
• Edit one of my WIPs – because I am very bad at not just drafting then moving on lmao

Life Goals

• Actually blog – since this is my only blogging goal it doesn’t get a section to itself, but yeah I’d really like to blog more pls
• Graduate high school – I mean I’d have to screw up pretty badly not to do this but,,,, it’s very important and I will feel very accomplished when I do it so tis a goal
• Not fail my first semester of college – now this is the real test fshfgfdgd
• Get more sleep – ,,,,please
• Be more on top of cleaning my room lol – im a slob what can I say, anyways yeah this’d be nice but I don’t have high hopes
• Keep baking a lot – I really enjoyed baking more this year last year, and trying new recipes and stuff, so I’m hoping to continue that in 2021
