Snowflake Challenge 2025: #4

[greerwatson]

Challenge #4: Since this is the start of a new year, this challenge will be e to set your own goals! Of course we can all make large or ambitious goals, remember that small and/or short goals are also good!

This challenge is a hardy perennial. So I looked back at what I wrote each year I've done Snowflake....

Yup. Just as I thought. Goals unmet, over and over.

So what might practical goals look like? Well, I've already signed up for candyheartsex; so doing my assignment for that. If worldbuilding_exchange runs this year, then that one too. I've done fkficfest every year since it started; so that one's likely. And in the fall, there's trickortreatex and Yuletide: those, certainly. And multiple treats, at least for Yuletide. (This year I did three treats; and I've never done fewer than one. Plus my assignment.)

Yes, that's fairly doable, I think. Of course, I've got two fanfic series that are ongoing but incomplete; so I hope that maybe (maybe!) I can get another installment done on at least one of them. But longfic hopes are ... hopes and dreams, probably.

Next January, I'll have a look at this post and see what happened. I'm not crossing my fingers, though. It makes it hard to use the keyboard!

Practical goals sound great. But don't be too hard on yourself for not meeting a goal. At least, you have tried, and to try is better than never to start.

You've done a lot! And have a lot lined up.

I admire people who can do exchanges. I can't take the pressure.

For me, the advantage of doing exchanges is having a deadline. It keeps me from getting terminally distracted from finishing.

Practical goals are important, and yours sound eminently practical. So keep at doing the things that you're doing well. And maybe something will appear that helps you go beyond the practical and into the impressive for yourself.
