Snowflake Challenge, Day 4

[edenfalling]

snowflake_challenge Day 4: In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

Hmm. I think I have two main goal categories this year: things related to writing, and things related to my intended move to Minnesota.

So for writing, I want to write at least 75,000 words. Specific story goals are... hmm... right. I want to A) finish a prompt fic for the_rck; B) finish a charity fic for mme_hardy; C) finish a gift story for my friend Susan; D) finish a gift story for my brother Nick; D) finish at least one chapter for "The Guardian in Spite of Herself;" E) participate in NFE, Remix, and Yuletide.

As for moving-related goals, they are: A) sort through my bags of childhood documents and get rid of 95% of them; B) downsize my book collection by... let's say at least 25%; C) downsize my assorted "why do I even own this?" stuff by at least 25%; D) figure out housing in Minnesota; E) figure out how move all my stuff halfway across the country; F) figure out how long I have to live in Minnesota before I can get in-state tuition rates for college (I want a BA, not just an AA); G) find a job in Minnesota; H) actually move to Minnesota; I) figure out if I need to take a specific course to get certified to do Minnesota state taxes for Not the IRS and sign up for it if possible.

These goals are listed in the order I thought of them, not necessarily in order of importance or temporal progression.

Also I would like to find a way to work more regular exercise into my daily routine, but I am beginning to suspect that will require me to find an exercise buddy. (Also that may resolve itself if and when I'm in Minnesota, since I can probably get Nick to bug me into doing cardio or whatever.)

These are excellent goals! I lived in Minnesota for my BA -- I went to Winona State -- and I'm in Wisconsin now, so maybe I'm biased, but I love Minnesota! Best of luck on the move!!

Minnesota is great! ♥ My parents are from Minnesota and I've spent summers (and some winter holidays) there all my life, though I myself grew up in New Jersey and currently live in New York.
