Challenge #4

In your own space, create some goals. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I'll be honest, since the pandemic started I and I think many others have had a hard time fixing "goals" especially long-term ones in our minds while we are all in a perpetual start of "wait and see". Even fannish goals seem somehow too much to hope for with a world that seems determined to shift course every other month, week, day. But in an effort to recapture a sense of hopeful expectancy I will set the bar rather low for myself. . . 
 
  • Work through the list of works that I have received gracious permission to record as podfic. :D
  • Read more. (I read so little this last year, emotional fatigue I think, and that has meant that my recs which I used to have ready sometimes many months in advance have many times been posted same day. I would like to feel like I had some breathing room.)
  • But ultimately, do what I have the spoons for, and let the rest go. (Works for fannishness and life. ;))
