Snowflake challenge #4: goals
Since this is the start of a new year, this challenge will be to set your own goals!
* My biggest (and possibly easiest if I keep up with the others) writing goal for the year is to write 150k words, and I'm keeping track of that and getting help with it through![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

* Finish WIPs: Woo Me Harder, Tiny Alpha and A Cup of Living Gold for sure. I have a few others but those are most important.
* Write more flashfic! It feels like I've forgotten how to write short things. But I can do it! I've done it before and I'll do it again. Helpful with this arefan_flashworks and Year of the OTP on Tumblr
* Move more. I don't have specifics on this one, which will make it harder to fulfill, but even if it's just going outside and walking around the yard, I should definitely move more. Maybe I can talk my mother into letting us get another dog.
* Reach out to loved ones (family and friends, too) more often. I've been trying to text my son first instead of waiting until he texts or calls me. I'm usually worried he's too busy (he's in trade school and holding down a job, too) but a text won't throw him off.
And the hardest one:
* Look over the editing notes I got back on my book. I did write a book like two years ago, and sent it to a writer who knows her shit, but once I got the notes back I did not even look at them. To be honest, I'm kinda scared to.
If my book is good and salvageable, that means a lot of damn work, after editing, to get it published and marketing it. (It's M/M and is supposed to be self-published eventually) The marketing part is what I'm most scared about. I'm getting anxious right now just thinking about it. I get amazingly horrible panic and anxiety, on top of a lot of other things.
If my book is NOT good, if I look at the notes and see so much work I'd be better off starting from scratch, then... that'd be kinda okay. SO I guess more than anything I have a fear of success and what it might take to succeed. lolsob
