Reading

This year I'm feeling drawn toward rereading. I'd like to reread a few of my old favorites. I'm already partway into a reread of The Rifter by Ginn Hale. I'm also considering a reread of Halfway Human (spurred on by excitement that THERE IS NOW FIC for this fandom!?! omfg) and also The Queen's Thief series. I might also reread The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley because I really loved it and it seems like a book that will be very different and enjoyable on a reread.

Being creative and focusing on OUTPUT instead of INPUT

A big goal that I've already begun and want to carry into the new year is curbing my own gluttony for content. Whether that is social media, news, fiction, fanfiction, or youtube - I want to be more deliberate about my media consumption. Specifically I want to make a conscious effort to read interactively (that is, to reflect on what I'm reading, write comments on fic, highlight and take notes as I read, write reviews, and just slow down and think about each work more).

I also want to journal more. I've been picking back up at 750 Words and I find that when I'm journaling consistently I feel a lot better mentally.

I want to post here on Dreamwidth more. Which is why I'm excited to be doing the [community profile] snowflake_challenge and Fannish 50 over at [community profile] goals_on_dw. I'm also hoping to join the [community profile] marchmetamatterschallenge and start cross-posting my older meta to Dreamwidth and Squidgeworld.

Health
I've fallen way off from my fitness goals since my daughter was born, so I want to get back on that. But first I need to address some health issues, especially what I suspect might be arthritis in my knee. I feel incredibly old to even say those words, but here we are at 37!

Social
I can always be better when it comes to maintaining and nurturing my own local community. I really want to make an effort to see people more this year, especially a few relationships that I've neglected and would like to rebuild. It's hard when I'm quite introverted, but contributing to my community is a really important value to me!
