Rejoice in what I carry in my heart

As I've mentioned before, I prefer to make goals for the year instead of resolutions. I've had a decent track record of achieving the yearly goals I make for myself-- and I think one of the reasons is because I try to make sure that each goal is concrete, realistic, and stems from an area of my life that is important to me. My two big questions are: where do I see myself at the end of the year and how will I accomplish that vision?

This year I did much more prep work for 2016, benefitting from more free time AND the sure knowledge that how I start the year is going to set the tone for many years to come. That's why my tag for 2016 is Make It Happen. The question is-- what? What is it that I want to make happen?

The answer is pretty simple: I want to be the best me that I can be. Healthy, positive, purposeful, and passionate. So how do you accomplish that? How do you make SMART goals out of that vision?( MY GOALS BENEATH THE CUT )

So that's my goals for 2016 so far. What kind of goals do you have?

January: BSG comes back! Expect commentary and ficlets on xdfics. Also, am attempting 31_days challenge. So far, I'm cheating horribly since I'm still writing the prompt for the first. XD If there's anything you want me to write, let me know. My skills are seriously rusty *__*. I need to finish prompts I'm sitting on, even if Dolom/Ouran crossover makes my eyes cross XD

February - April: Novel in 30, although I'm going to start writing bits before hand during prep XD. ( what I'm writing! ) I'm not going to jinx the novel, but I'm super enthusiastic about it, especially after SOS's failure to get going.

March: I want to break the record of completed Kingdom logs. Nothing else is going on in March anyway....

April: My birthday! Going to be a blast! Also, will totally do birthday drabbles again and once more go for a 100% completion rate. For some reason, I'm better at getting drabbles in when there's a time limit XD. Also, will gloat at sister, who turns 35 and is not happy about it. Guess she shouldn't have given me grief over turning 25 last year, eh? >D

May: Fanime! Shows ending! Summer movies start! Predict amazing number of LJ entries of the fannish nature.
