…so you can guess what I’ve been doing lately… :)
In actual fact I did most of this several weeks ago and it’s absolutely horrifying and every time I look at it I do in fact get stressed out. So I added up the wordcount, which… well, it’s 420K before the Heartstrike books, and having just come off a 450k year, I know I can pull off 420K. The goal is to do so in a less stressful manner than last year, and the structure for doing that is to start my days with words and not admin, and aim for a steady 2-3k a day for 200 days of the year (an Irish work year is 252 days, so it’s not an outrageous push for days worked and gives me time to have vacations, get sick, deal with life as it happens, i hope).
ASIDE FROM THAT… I’d really like to put in as much time drawing this year as I did last year, and since I didn’t start drawing until the middle of last year, that means a couple hundred hours over the course of this year. I think that’s probably feasible, although I’ve really badly lost the momentum at the moment, and suspect that my general discontent with the teacher in this program is part of the problem, although I ALSO feel like I’m probably learning stuff, sooooo…well, I’ll try to get back to it, won’t I, and we’ll see how it goes. :)
My other main goal is to bike enough to get to the gym, gym enough to be able to bike home again without dying, and then start swimming. :)
