tullycatGoing to do a quick wrap-up without forcing myself to think too much about it.
I hit 50 books this year! Here are my top 5-ish books, in order of when I finished:
Top 5 albums:
Top 5 concerts: TXT, A.C.E, The Boyz, Ateez, ONF
Writing:
Had a rough middle of the year, where I didn't write from March through July. Still managed 63k words though, thanks to some banger months bringing up the average. Posted 18 fics, for a published word count of 113k. Had a few cowrites with Pop and wrote the bulk of the 50k fic last year, which accounts for the difference between my tracker and published.
2024 goals:
My main goal was to eat more beans, which I succeeded at! I ate at least 5 kinds of beans, 3 of which were new. (What a strange goal, you say. Yes, well, I hated beans up until now and wanted to try eating less meat, which means beans.) My unofficial goal was to continue trying to make friends in my first full year here - I don't know if I have any official new friends yet, but I definitely put myself out there and made a solid effort to meet people. I am kind of anti-New Year's resolutions because I would rather just start a resolution whenever it comes to me, but for 2025 I would like to continue putting myself out there. My reading goal is 52 books, but in general I would love to spend less time scrolling/fucking around on my laptop and more time reading, writing, and doing crafts. I will consider if I have other goals!
