Would anyone like to explain to me how it’s mid-March already?!

I’ve had a few new posts rattling around in my head for months, and all of a sudden we’re three months into a new year?!

I kind of want to write in all caps. That’s how flabbergasted I am.

I like to start the new year putting my annual goals out into the universe in an effort to not only “put them out there”, but also to hold myself accountable. It’s written down. You can all see it. And in nine months, that will feel like three, we’ll be at the end of the year again, and I’ll be wondering where all the time went, and questioning if I could have done more.

((Sigh)) The never-ending cycle.

So here are my 2026 Writer’s Life Goals. I’m starting out slow because I’ve been gaming and that’s all I’ve wanted to do with my free time. Wah wah.

• Read 12 books (It’s a bit low, but I want to write my own this year.) 1/12
• Watch 24 new movies (It’s kind of my standard at this point, but I usually watch more.) 2/24
• Watch 12 new TV shows (I got really sick and watched three in a week) 6/12
• Finish Walker fanfic (almost done!) 13/14 chapters
• Start Man of Sin novel (Starting (hopefully) in the next two weeks.)
• Write 10 new flash fics 0/10 (wah wah)
• Rewrite one script (after the novel’s first draft)

My goals are also set a little low because we’re probably going to have to move…again…yeah. It’s been nearly three years and So Cal is sooo expensive.

Want to share any of your goals? I’ll do a mid-year check-in some time in June, and we can cheer each other on!

Happy goal setting!
