Happy New Year, bloggers! It's been a long time since my last blog entry, but I am back with many new goals for the year.
Goal #1: This has to do with my art. I want to be more artistic every day. This was a goal I had made last year that I didn't really follow through with. My original goal was to draw/paint one piece every month, but now that I think back, with my busy life, that wasn't the best goal. So this goal needed revising. This year, I want to work on my art three times a week. Whether it be drawing a whole section, or simply shading a small area, I think this is a more realistic goal for me.
Goal #2: Last year I made the goal of making one pony a month, and I did it! Cha-ching bada-bing bang boom...ahem...yesh. So as an extension to this goal, I want to complete not only one commission a month, but also one pony that was born from my own brain. So that's TWO ponies a month. I'm already done with three commissions for January, now I need to complete a brainchild. I also want to spend more time brainstorming about it every month. So there's that.
Goal #3: Write more! Last year, I did a fantastic job of writing for my story. But the goal was to write every day and fill up a journal with my life. That didn't happen. I had, like, five entries. And three of those entries were ideas for my story. Yowza. So my third goal is to write every day. Some days I will write in my story, and some days I will write in my journal. And every Thursday, I WILL update my blog. I will!!!!!!
Goal #4: Publish my story. :D I think that's enough said right there.
Goal #5: Weight loss thingies and healthy stuffs. I lost 20 lbs since last September and I have the ambition to lose more. I made a goal sometime in the fall to lose 60 lbs by summer, and I want to see through to that! I'm already 1/3 of the way there. I have the tools I need to eat healthy and keep track of my food and exercise every day, so I know I can do it. Shameless plug for Spark People: This is THE BEST tool ever. It can be used on your computer and also is a fantastic app. You can plug in a weight that you want to be and it puts out how many calories you are allowed for the day. You can put all of your goals in it and review them every day. <--(That's what I like.) It's so helpful, I love it!
Goal #6: I had already saved this and scheduled it, then remembered; hey! I had another goal. I want to read two books a month. I signed up for Goodreads yesterday, so feel free to check me out. https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/39126301-stephanie-smith
So here's to 2015!! *clinks glasses with the lot of ya* I leave you with the one-winged angel from hell, Sephiroth, from FFVII. He was a commission for a good friend.
