What have you done this year that you're most proud of?
What conversation helped you change a perspective?
What will you remember most fondly about 2018???

2 0 1 8   G O A L S   W R A P - U P  :
WRITING GOALS: 
Complete the 2 Camp NaNoWriMos and the 1 in November: I "lost" in April but won in July and November!
Self-publish a romance novel: Not yet buuuuut expect a whole series in 2019!
Query an agent: Hi, no, but looking at you February. IT'S TIME!
"Close" my open drafts: Semi...sorta...success? I basically closed some and opened a lot more. TOO MANY IDEAS.
Write 52 "articles" I want to publish and not for work: Trolololol I published 1. Check it out on Medium. 🤣
Write more short stories: "More" is so ambiguous so YES I succeeded but not as many as I wanted.
READING GOALS:
Write a review for every book I read: Noooope. 0!
Read 50 books: I read 23 and those were a hard fought 23!
40/50 books I read need to be ones I already own: I don't know why I thought this was a good idea when I was on the road, but no. I have no idea how many I already owned. Truly I took advantage of my library and the Libby app, so the goal of not buying as many books was definitely achieved.
Of the 10 I don't own, 5 will be indie- or self-published: Noooope. Looking at you 2019 goal!
Finish reading Harry Potter in Spanish: I got to the 3rd and stopped. :/ Again, hi, 2019, let's do it!
Read 5 Classics: YES. SO PUMPED. ACHIEVED. Check out my Cooking with Classics series I started later in the year, but will continue from now on.
Find a new manga series to obsess over: Yes! A new old series and my library helped with that too. :)
Read a book in every single genre: ALSO YES CRUSHED THIS. Turns out I read more broadly than I thought!
ROAMING GOALS:
8-month SuperMegaSoloRoadtrip of the U.S. and Canada: I did 4 months and cut my trip in half....looking at 2020 to continue the other half. :) But I had a freaking blast, y'all. Best. Goal. Ever.
