Resolutions

• ▢ Develop a body clock that you’d like to maintain as a healthy adult, where you wake up in the morning and go to sleep before 2AM.
  • HAHA. I feel like this is a resolution I make every year. Anyway, next year is another chance to try. I wonder what changes I need to make to make sleeping earlier less of an effort…
• ▥ YEAR OF REJECTIONS 2K21! Aim for 10 rejections!
  • I applied to fifteen things, got rejected by four, accepted by ten, and am waiting on one. This isn’t a failure by any means since the Year of Rejections is just an effort to make me less doubtful of my own abilities. Most of the acceptances were to fandom projects, and the rejections were professional things LMAO. So I wonder if this means that I need to focus on professional stuff more next year.
• ▩ Drink less.
  • I got on medication, so it gave me a reason to go easy on the drinks. I like that!
• ▩ Make a slow return to making original content, or at least drawing your OCs more. They’re fun and cute! Creating is fun!
  • I got into making a total of three (3) OCs this year! Two for fandoms (Pokemon and FE3H), and one original (Aeon). I got really into the fandom ones so I don’t count them as lesser. I also started thinking about my original projects more towards the end of the year :•)
• ▥ Rediscover your ambition, or at least find things that make you feel happy that you can be confident in pursuing relentlessly.
  • I feel like it’s good for me to make comics and draw a lot, so I want to keep pursuing that. I don’t think I really rediscovered my ambition, but I’m getting there!
• ▩ Make more dynamic, expressive art! Go back to the fundamentals of drawing.
  • I think I did this! While they may not show in my polished stuff, I think my post-burnout doodles have a lot more life in them than the clean stuff I made before I just let myself get loose about it.

Goals

• ▩ PASSIONS: Start a new project! (Zine, community project, comic)
  • AC zine! I’m a little sad I didn’t do my own personal zine this year (I’ve come out with a personal project every year since 2016) but it’s okay. I wanted to try heading a community project and I did it! Now back to normal.
• ▩ CAREER: Don’t be unemployed, ma’am.
  • I’m a part-timer, baby! Next year I want to try more freelance – art or teaching, who knows.
• ▢ HEALTH: Drop 3~4 kg and maintain that or go lower.
  • This is another of those resolutions/goals that I make every year. I think it’s clear that health is not super my priority, so I want to find a way to make it naturally higher up on the list. I think naturally some other things will go down and it will take their place, but I don’t know if I should be doing things to expedite the process or make it easier. Maybe I can pick out good candidates for “lower priority items” lol. Easier said than done.
• ▩ HABITS: Read 6 books that are mostly words.
  • I READ EXACTLY SIX BOOKS THAT ARE MOSTLY WORDS.
