silver_sunLooking back at last years resolutions http://the-silver-sun.livejournal.com/200107.html I managed some of them at least. Some didn't happen due to lack of money (holiday, swimming lessons) and rain (picnics, growing herbs), and some like reading a book a week didn't exactly happen as some weeks I managed more and some not at all - like in November when I took part in Nanowrimo again - although I was just editing this time round.
Some things like gym membership are going to have to go, which was one of my aims for last year, but I don't get to go very often anyway, so it's a waste of money really. I'll try saving my membership money and using it for days out instead or saving up for Alexander's school things that he'll need in September.
This year is going to be one of changes I think, and hopefully by the end of it a little more money, as with Alexander heading off to school in September Fin will start to look for a job and with changes where I work I could finally get a promotion (well it's not exactly a promotion, rather extra pay for taking on a lot more work - and I'm not massively keen on being on the help desk, but it work and money, so needs must.)
So what to do for this year.
Reading and Writing.
Read one book a week, even if it's a novella or a longer fanfic.
Keep writing - aim for 2k a week.
Finish my Being Human/Torchwood crossover fic.
Write some more original fic - the werewolf/psychic one set in and around Bradford.
Take part in another Nanowrimo -(July or November as camp nano in April isn't likely to happen as work is going to be ridiculously busy with a new computer system and new pension scheme to tell people about)
Outdoors and other active things.
Learn to ride a bike and help Alexander to learn to ride - aiming to do this before I turn 35 at the end of May.
Grow herbs in the garden.
Go to reenactment events again and take Alexander with me.
Have a few days out, even if they are just a picnic in the park.
Go to the seaside at least once.
