Snowflake Challenge, Day 4

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.)

[Fic] "Wild Honey" -- Chronicles of Narnia/Harry Potter

I am very bored at work, so have another tiny installment in Edmund and Ginny Go to Harfang. :)

Written 1/8/20, in response to the genprompt_bingo square honey. (100 words exactly)

Wild Honey

The honeycomb gleamed pale greenish-gold as Edmund withdrew it from the tree-bound hive and brushed off a handful of bright blue bees, still sleeping peacefully under Ginny's charm.

"Is it safe to eat?" Ginny asked, her voice unexpectedly close to Edmund's ear. "I mean, green's not the usual color, is it? And I know some honey is poisonous, if the bees make it from certain plants."

"I'm game if you are," Edmund said, and snapped the comb in half. As Ginny sniffed her portion warily, he brought his newly free fingers to his lips and tasted sweetness when she smiled.

End of Ficlet

It's not at all clear in the text, but they are heading up the Nandrapragaan River, toward the mysterious mountains and lakes/inland sea west of Calormen and Kutu.
