I also want to spend my energy in 2025 being "happy and fulfilled". Plus I like little treats. So I'm doing bingo this year instead, and I told my friends and now a bunch of us are doing it together 🥹

Here's mine, and after is a template if you want to join us!

Template after the cut

Finish the first and second drafts of Edge of the Echo (my fantasy story), ready for publication.

Finish the first draft of a story from Timeline-1001—be that the Foggy adventures of Dugan Quirk, the story of the Last Crusade, or something new.

Finish Part II of Tiles on the Roof.

Finish Strands of Webbing.

Become a lawyer.

Find a job with the Foreign Service.

Lose some weight.

Get to know my city better.

I know I am not on here as a writer, like I have been in the past. I miss it. It just hasn't been the same for me lately.

I do hope my reading, commenting, and reblogs make up for the lack of creativity on my end.

I'm going to list a couple of things that I resolutely intend to accomplish in the New Year.

Writing new stories, beginning with a commission for @arses21434 [starting in February]

Not taking up challenges unless I can fully complete them. It's not fair to you or myself. And to all those I haven't finished, I am legitimately sorry.

Random giveaways, interactive posts, and overall recreating my blog back to representing myself.

Thank you to everyone who still follows me and cares to stop by once in awhile. Going to tag my forevers. I hope this new year brings everyone who reads this great health, amazing friendships, and positive vibes.
