January and 2018 Goals

I am going to keep these relatively unambitious, because the big one is, you know, big.

 

2018 Goals

• Support Lut through the cancer treatment process
• Continue general adulting as necessary.
• Publish Golden Coils
• Edit and publish the two Demon books. 
• Post monthly updates on whatever I did.

Stretch goals: finish some other book and/or stories.

 

Ideally, I'd like to write and publish a fourth book and have two more books drafted. In a hypothetical year without cancer, this would not be unreasonable. Even with cancer last year, I edited three books, published two, and drafted 1 plus most of another.

 

But. Cancer.

 

I will certainly work on some new stories this year. I can't picture a year where I only write new fiction for one month, which is about how long I expect finishing Demon's Sigil to take. But having the focus to finish something while editing ... Let's not count on that.

 

Three new books will suffice, even if they're books mostly or entirely finished last year.

January Goals

Eat at least a pound of veggies per week. I want to eat more vegetables, but I don't want to set a goal that would be, like, an actual healthy amount to eat per day. Because then I would give up. I don't really like veggies or preparing them. I am trying my father's method, which is to buy frozen steam-in-bag veggies that come in some kind of sauce so they're (a) easy to prepare and (b) not actively unpleasant to eat and (c) will not spoil before I get to them. I've only found one that meets all three criteria so far: broccoli in cheese sauce.  I need to find some more if I'm going to work up to eating some veggies every day, because the broccoli with cheese gets unpleasant to eat after a couple of days in a row. So. Any suggestions? o_o

Finish Demon's Sigil: This is going to be easy because I'm on the last scene now. \o/
