[Perry] Aaaaaaaaaand….2015

Did you read that right?

Cause I was sort of going for a Claptrap-esque vibe there but I’m not sure if that came through.

Anyway, the new year is almost upon us all (run!) and as we march forward into it, I realize that there are things that I’ve done this year that I want to do again next year. And things that I’ve done this year that I don’t want to do again next year.

And you know what? Challenges of this type are usually a lot more fun and doable if you have someone to do them with.

Something I managed to complete this year, sort of by the skin of my teeth? Was a challenge on Goodreads to read 80 books during the course of the year. I would like to do this again next year. Partly because it’s fun, but also because it’s a good way for me to keep my eyes open as to what’s out there and how it’s been done.

Left to my own devices, I’ve found that I tend to keep going back and rereading old favorites instead of seeking out new books and this helped me push past that and be a little more adventurous with my reading choices, often to great result!

There is seriously some great stuff out there and I look forward to discovering more of hidden gems next year, whether they’re pretty recent releases or older classics that I just hadn’t gotten around to yet until I pushed.

More writing is definitely something that I need to incorporate as a plan as well, but I’m not sure quite how to translate that into a year long goal that I would actually keep up with properly. I definitely have some serious problems keeping up with things of that nature.

But reading, I can do reading. I may even be able to push forward with some other creative goals for the coming year involving my very, VERY fledgling attempts to draw and largely ineffective work with the guitar.

I’m still a little unsure of the framework of the personal creative goals I’d like to accomplish in the coming year, but I would be open to the idea of trying to pursue said goals as a group, or even just in tandem with one or two other people and their own goals to try and keep myself from slacking off as the year progresses.

What sort of goals are you eyeing for the new year? What type of things are you looking to get accomplished?

Anyone interested in pursuing those goals in a together fashion?
