Snowflake Challenge #4

[silverink]

A goal is defined as the object of a person's ambition or effort. For this challenge, you are to make a goal or two or, well, as many as you wish to.

Do you want to write that fanfic that has been on your mind? Make that essay on the meta of your favorite fandom? Learn a new language? Read your stack of To Be Read books? Finally watch every episode of every version of The Twilight Zone?

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 have several goals for myself! I have two (or is it three now?!) WIPs I hope to finish and post soon, one of which I've been working on for quite a while; I want to start an original work story that I've been thinking about and planning lately; and I have some posts I really want to make on here! Specifically I want to make a post about the book The Silver Pigs by Lindsey Davis, because I just got it for Christmas and it's delightful so far (though I'm a very slow reader) and I want to talk about it, possibly a post about my Franklin planner that came in the mail a few days ago, and another post about Yuletide for here and for my Tumblr!

Another goal unrelated to fandom is to get part of my room cleaned by the end of this weekend. I've been working on going through my dresser drawers and getting rid of clothes I don't wear anymore, and it's been a bit of a slow process but I feel like I could finish it tomorrow, hopefully! As a larger goal, I want to organize/clean my whole room before school starts again.

Yay for the combination of smaller and larger goals! Starting with the drawers, already working towards the goal about the whole room. And starting with specific posts and completing a fic, while planning something beyond fanfic! ♥

I have to be in a mood to clean and declutter. It's actually quite satisfying when it's done.

My tip for going through clothes is to imagine a situation where you'd wear it and think, "Would I choose this over the other t-shirts/sweaters/pants I have?"

I'd definitely like to hear your thoughts on The Silver Pigs! I've only read a few of the Falco books, but I'm in awe at how she incorporates her worldbuilding and period detail in them, while keeping the books light. And it's been years since I read it, but I very much enjoyed her standalone novel The Course of Honour, about the lifelong love affair between Vespasian and the freedwoman Antonia Caenis.

BBC Radio 4 also dramatised a number of the books, and they're lots of fun, too - especially since Falco is played by Anton Lesser, aka our very own Reginald Bright! :)

Yay! Mossgreen actually mentioned the books to me a few months ago, so I'm pretty excited now that several of my friends on here enjoy them too XD

Hopefully I'll be able to post about it soon. I'm not that far into it yet since I'm kinda a slow reader, but I'd still like to post my thoughts so far! And oh Course of Honor sounds really interesting too omg!

Ohhh that's awesome! I absolutely love the idea of Anton Lesser as Falco omg, I'll have to go find that now :D
