2016 Goals

Hey!  Happy New Years everyone!  2015 has drawn to a close, and I wanted to create a list of goals for 2016 that I can hopefully get done.  And just to not feel overwhelmed by all of my new goals, I've created a writing calendar to guide me along the challenges.  But I'll get to that later, right now, here are my writing goals for 2016:
1. I want to have the fourth draft of Dawns Rise begun by the end of the year.  I'm hoping to work on Dawns Rise everyday
2. I have a new project which was inspired by a quote I found.  
The quote sparked an idea in my mind, which is that I am going to write one page a day of a story I know nothing about at the moment, and see how it turns out by the end of the year.  I have purposely not thought of the project, just so I can start from scratch.  The only thing I actually know of the story at this moment, are these two things (the first one will be the beginning sentence):
              
3. I have a short fairy tale re-telling that I've been working on recently, and I'm planning to be done with it well before the end of the year, since it's so short
4. I want to meet more people in the writing universe

   And that's all I have for my writing goals, but I also have some revisions I want to make with my writing schedule.  And I'm telling you all the schedule, to keep my accountable.  Once a month I will have a writing weekend, where every single second of my free time I will write as much as possible.  Also, every weekend I will post on here a small writing goal I want to get done that weekend- just a small one, to make sure I'm still walking along in my writing journey.  Also, with my school, this blog, and my writing, I've realized I need to minimize the load on some of my projects.  So, I have changed posting on here from once every week, to only once every other week.  Anyways, that is all of the writing updates to know for the upcoming new year.
   But my life does not all consist of writing, so I have made a few simple life goals for this year.  Here it goes:
1. I want to save the world

 

2. Go to Mexico again
3. Write a letter to some of my favorite authors- Just because I want to
4. Read 45 books
5. Read ten books of the bible
6. Write down every good memory from this year, and put it in a jar

  

7. Start running or do some sort of exercise
8. Learn how to sword fight
9. Go hunting
10. Get my permit
11. Star a diary and write in it every day

12. Live!!!!

You all have a great New Years day!  Allons-y!
