Goals for 2012

  • Complete first editing pass on A Knife in the Dark by end of January. (Not completed)
  • Write 110,000 words of fiction this year. That means 50K for NaNoWriMo plus 500 words per 3 days; posts on Ficton count but posts here do not. (Not completed. 30K words for NaNoWriMo)
  • Weight 190 lb by end of March, and stay there. (Haven't been monitoring. At 211 now, which is down from 220)
  • Put up 7 posts per week, counting both here and Ficton. (327 posts = 6.29 per week. Almost there)!
  • Take a major trip (Anasazi and Grand Canyon). (Done!)
  • One mini adventure per two weeks; generally this will be "go to a new place" or "try a new food", although it also includes ultralight flight, taking a martial arts class, and making an acrylic artwork. (Not monitored)
  • Read one significant non-fiction work per month. (Not monitored)
  • Get my naval miniatures painted--enough for the Hughes v Suffren campaign. (Not done)
  • Complete one wargame battle per month, even if solo. (Done, although most of the battles were in September and October. See Battle Honors blog)
  • Acquire a rapier or similar weapon. (Done!)
So. Some failures, some success, some "I wasn't counting". Goals for this year:
  • Financial: check and adjust mutual funds every month
  • Complete Untitled Napoleonic Fantasy Starring Chadwick Awesome.
  • Write 110,000 words of fiction this year. That means 50K for NaNoWriMo plus 500 words per 3 days; posts on Ficton count but posts here do not.
  • Weight 190 lb by end of March, and stay there.
  • Put up 7 posts per week, counting both here and Ficton.
  • One mini adventure per two weeks; generally this will be "go to a new place" or "try a new food", although it also includes ultralight flight, taking a martial arts class, and making an acrylic artwork.
  • Read one significant non-fiction work per month.
  • Complete one wargame battle per month, even if solo, and write AARs.
