2017 Goals

GOODBYE 2016 *cue fireworks*

Now is now the time to forget everything that happened in the past year, and move forward creating New Year’s Resolutions we know we’ll never keep!

READING

Unlike in 2016, I’m actually setting a specific reading goal for this year. In 2017 I’d like to read at least 25 books, but hopefully I’ll read more. I also want to branch out more with the books I read. I’d like to get out of my YA Fantasy bubble and read more Contemporary or Historical Fiction. I read a lot of lessor known books and things I wouldn’t normally read in 2016 and I’m excited to continue that into 2017.

MOVIES and TV

During 2016, I dropped a few shows that I wasn’t feeling anymore. Going into 2017 I’d like to branch out, giving more shows and movies a chance, but I’d also like to not stick with any shows that I’m not enjoying anymore because I feel obligated to. During 2017, I’m going to only stick with the shows that I am actively enjoying and looking forward to, and ditch the ones that feel like a chore.

PERSONAL and BLOGGING

I have a few blogging and writing goals for 2017. First, I would like to write at least 2,000 words every week. This isn’t very much compared to people who are authors for a living but it’s a start and a way of encouragement for me to start writing on a more consistent basis. During 2017 I want to spend some time every week doing something creative. Whether this is reading, writing, drawing, or blogging may change from week to week but I want to improve these skills into 2017.

Hopefully I can actually keep up with at least SOME of these goals going into 2017. I’m excited to see what this new year has in store and what I can accomplish.

Happy New Year…

Elise!
