Well here we are at the end of another year. I kind of feel like I’ve sleepwalked towards 2020, cos OOF this last month has been a toughie- sorry I’ve not been as active on here as I’d have liked! Hope to rectify that in the New Year! And speaking of changes… it’s time to reflect on my resolutions. I won’t say this has been the easiest or most exciting year for me, but it’s been better in a lot of ways than many of the years that have gone before and there’s a few things I’m really happy about – SO I’LL TAKE IT! Let’s see how I did with my resolutions…
Bookish:
10 More Books from My Challenging list
I did pretty well with this, reading 7/10, even though I just wasn’t feeling some of the tougher books on this list this year.
10 Non-Fiction Reads
15/10 – Knocked this one out of the park! Here’s some of the highlights…
5 Rereads
5/5 – There were a lot of books I hoped to reread for fun and that didn’t happen- but I still managed to complete this goal.
5 Poetry Collections
4/5 – nearly made it! Well, that’s if you’re not considering how most of these aren’t poetry collections, but I reckon it counts cos they were all in verse. Plus, I did read a lot of individual poems this year.
Non Bookish:
Compile notebooks
Soo my last goal was to type up the wolfy notebook… of course I’ve filled up another one since then… Okay I’m always managing to fill up notebooks. This is a never-ending task lol. 5/5
Complete another language on Duolingo
5/5 midway through the year
(as I mentioned in my mid year’s resolutions I pressed pause on any language learning midway through the year)
THE DREADED EDITING
I finished everything I wanted to do around August, so 30/30, but I will say my writing habits got *weird* after I finished the BIG PROJECT. I did do a bit of tinkering in October, then tried working on something else (big fail), fell into a killer writing slump, had a bizarre surge with a new(ish) project towards the end of the year… only to fall off the wagon with that too. Regardless, this was definitely a win!
Score: 66/70 94%
A
Definitely better than my C from last year!
And for extra credit…
Art- start painting again and finish sketchbook
I’ve been working on drawings a lot more this year and I even started an Instagram for it- though I’ve been using various sketchbooks, so it’s not easy to tell if I’ve done this or not. Definitely counting this as a win too.
Yoga challenge x2
Ah this was a late addition I couldn’t complete in time. I managed to squeeze in one yoga challenge, but not two. This is something I’ll have to work on next year!
And that concludes my wrap up! Pretty happy with how that went! How have you done with your resolutions this year? Let me know in the comments! And a ***Happy New Year*** to you all!
