2019 Goal Tally

• Read 15 books.
  • Write a review for each one, even if it's just brief.
  • Have one be something outside my usual genres.
• Complete 3 fics.
  • Have at least one be a Finisterre fic.
• Write at least one rec post each month.
• Write at least one 100 word drabble each month.

So, slight correction - I completed a couple of the goals! I'm tempted to tick off 'read one book outside my usual genres' since I have, technically, read huge chunks of work-relevant lit... but I will concede that none cover to cover yet. (The Call of the Reed Warbler awaits.)

I didn't review every book I read, and I certainly didn't make a rec post each month, but I did write some reviews and some rec posts, and that's more than can be said of many years past. Poor 100 word drabbles didn't stand a chance this time around. I think I need to accept they're an entirely whimsical impulse for me.

Eleventh hour though it was, I'm so pleased to have written something for Finisterre. I think it's something to do with fulfilling a want that would otherwise go unsatisfied (there are a grand total of four non-AU fics in the fandom, and three of them are mine), and knowing that anyone else who likewise shares that want will (hopefully!) likewise enjoy the fact it now exists.

I'm not sure whether or not to try and sketch out any goals for the new year. It is nice to have there, in its own way? Hmm.
