#personal goals

"My life has become a single, ongoing revelation that I haven't been cynical enough."

If this post gets 3k notes, I will:

go in for an autism screening (which i've been meaning to do for 5 months)

put aside time every night to do my homework, no matter how much i don't want to

work on my writing WIPs (specifically wc!omens) at least once a week

I don't think this post will reach 3k, so again... low risk. But if it does, I'll add another list of things for 7k notes. All of these are things that have been personal goals for a while, and I just... haven't been doing them.

Edit: uhhh. Okay. So, you did it. I... guess I have to do all of those things now. Wow. Time to add the things for 7k notes then-

If this post gets 7k notes, I will:

start driving more... i need to get my license but i'm too scared to do the driving necessary to get the practice in (i have my permit)

I wish this is how it went down 😔

First comic, in a while. I kinda don't like it but hey, an attempt is an attempt.

If you wanna read my fankid fic then here

An actual WIP? On a Wednesday no less??

Hello friends, I hope you're all well. It's been a while since I last posted anything, so I'm really pleased to be sharing this wip with you now.

I've been worried a lot about my writing recently— struggling with motivation, questioning what it's all for, lamenting how unrealistic/unattainable it feels when I dream of writing a whole book and getting it published. So far the main conclusion I've reached is: if I want to actually write, I have to write. Everything else is beside the point if I'm not actually putting words down. So I set myself a reasonably attainable goal of writing for at least 15 mins every day for 5 days, and actually finishing a Snowbaz WIP I've been working on since January, to prove to myself that I can 1. write stuff that isn’t completely terrible, and 2. actually finish something thats more than a 1k one shot.

I am now on day 6, and I've written for well over an hour most days, and the fic I wanted to complete is now 10k and in its beta stage. I'm so pleased at having got to that stage, and very excited to share it with you when it’s done.

For now, here is a little bit of ridiculous Snowbaz animosity from the final chapter (Baz pov):

He climbs into the back with a huff, holding his tray at a precarious angle as he clips his seatbelt into place. I watch Snow's two coffee cups teeter on the edge of spilling. I try to hold it back, but a strangled sound of frustration escapes my throat. "Well if you'd bloody taken one, it wouldn't be spilling, would it?" He snaps, righting the flimsy cardboard tray, but not before the greasy bag of pastries flops onto the seat beside him. Without completely turning, I hold my hand out, snapping my fingers irritably when he doesn't respond. Simon places a warm cup in my hand. It smells of hazelnut syrup. All at once I picture how different this morning could have been had Snow not deserted me yet again. Buttery pastries and hot coffee in bed with a dazzling boy I haven't stopped thinking about in a year. The idea threatens to break me. Instead of crumpling into the seat like the dropped bag of pastries, I roll down my window and pointedly drop my entire coffee cup into a hedge. (Normally I wouldn't dream of littering, but I'm making a point here. I will not be softened by sugary drinks, no matter how much I'm craving the caffeine.) "Well now you're just being an arse!" Simon growls over my shoulder as I'm starting the engine.

Now I know I can actually get to the end of a full draft of something, I’m aiming to start working on some og things once more. It feels a lot more scary than writing for fandoms, so we’ll see how it goes. Please wish me luck 😬

Hugs to everyone below, and a pressure-free invite to post any wips you’re working on if you feel like sharing (:

-draw more! doesn’t matter what it is, if it’s ugly, if it’s something the algorithm won’t like, if it isn’t perfect; just draw (2025 was bad for posting art, but I had a lot of health issues that effected my energy, so hopefully this year I get some answers and can be healthy again!)

-finish converting the spare room into a craft room! My fiancé and I started the first steps of clearing out some stuff so we can finally start working on a craft room for the both of us!

-craft! Ive wanted to make decoden crafts since 2015 lol but I never had the space to store the supplies or properly work on it, but this year I want it to finally happen! I also want to try my hand at making charms, keychains and maybe even knitting ♪( ´▽｀)

-eat healthier! not necessarily for weight loss, but with my stomach issues I really need to start eating more whole foods and less garbage ; u;

-scroll less! Why am I spending so much time scrolling the void? I don’t really post on Facebook and Twitter and Reddit but yet I keep checking in on them. Unless I’m actually posting something, I really want to keep brainrotting to a minimum! (Except for playing Uma musume lol)

-get out more! I’m a homebody with extreme social anxiety and leaving the house is very difficult for me, but I have been trying! I want to keep trying and maybe I’ll actually even be comfortable with leaving the house one day!

-invest in physical media and single use devices! I know that’s more of a trendy thing right now, but I do think having specific devices for one thing might also help my scrolling problem lol

-draw things that aren’t anime girls! Drawing anime girls is my favorite and that will always be my main thing I draw lol, but I also really want to draw things like pokemon, chao, sonic characters, pikmin, animal crossing characters etc like i want to try drawing cute little guys sometimes too! But I always get afraid if I draw something different even just a few times people will leave lol ; u;

-be more social! Online and offline! I pretty much just lurk online and offline I don’t talk to many people at all haha so I want to work on my social skills even just a little!

I think that’s it! (I’m sure I’m forgetting some things lol) but those are some of the main things I want to work on/achieve!
