It's that time of year again! Technically, I could have saved doing this for tomorrow, but since I'm not going to publish anything else until (fingers crossed) the wee morning hours of January 1, 2022(!) I feel like it's fine to do it today while I'm thinking about it and have the motivation lol.
Quick Summary
[2020 wrapup post] [2019 wrapup post] [2018 wrapup post]
What Were My Goals for 2021?
These goals were both written when I was EXTREMELY depressed and simultaneously was coming off of the best writing year (and probably the best year of my entire life [look. the bar has been on the floor.]) so I had very high expectations that I absolutely failed to meet. Sorry past noodle.
( 2021 goals )
I can't tell if my readmores are working. hope they are.
