Fannish New Year's Resolutions

1.Read more. That sounds weird, seeing as how I'm almost always reading, but I'd like to read outside my comfort zone. I tend to go with the tried and true and this year, I've read many less new authors than I usually do. Though the few times I did step outside my little box, I've been absolutely thrilled I did. So, more being bold this year.

2.Also, this year, once I've found the new writers and friended them, be more active with them. The latter part of this year I was a bad reader and commenter. I want to fix that.


3.Again, participate in some way in fandom. More challenges, maybe actually do that reccing thing that [livejournal.com profile] locknkey has asked me about…several times.

4.Write more. I enjoy it, whether folks read or not. I confess, I let a lack of commenting affect me more than I should. Hey, I'm only human and my ego's as big as the next guy's. (assuming that guy's Donald Trump or something.) So, write more, worry less about what I'm writing and how I'm writing it. Not saying I won't try to get better, just saying I won't worry so much about how my writing's received.

5.Pay more attention to my friends. I drift, but I never stop caring.

There you go. And I'd like to thank folks for their Christmas cards—it was great fun to get the mail and find lovely cards for me and the Fam!

For those of you who think you've dodged the bullet by not getting a card from me…nu-unh. They're coming. So what they're late—pft! Who cares! The season stretches on and on! :)

I applaud your resolutions! I know the struggle between wanting to write and fearing the void :-( Keep writing anyway! I like your stuff :-) (Trust me, still working on this one myself, but still writing.)

It's been a pleasure getting to be friends with you, and I look forward to lots more of that!

It's been a pleasure for me too! And thanks again for helping me out of a bind! :)

Writing is this thing where no matter how much you say it's just a hobby, you can't stop it!

Those are great ideas that I may try to poach/imitate. I'm glad you got the card, Snuggles, and here's to another awesome year of brain-twin-ness!

More brain-twinniness, heck yeah!!

I think we all are affected by lack of comments, no matter how much we don't want to be. I hope you do write more - and reccing is really satisfying, so I hope you do that too! Happy New Year :)

Happy New Year to you too! I hope it's a happy, safe, and prolific one for all of us! ♥
