Plans for 2026 (Writing & Self-Care 2: Electric Boogaloo)

[nonesensed]

It's time for my yearly tradition of Making A To-Do List 😁 My previous lists (from 2025, from 2024 and from 2023) have had varying levels of success.

Last year, I meant to focus on writing and self-care, which didn't go too well 😅 So, new plan! This year I'm not aiming for a list of things I want to finish this year - we're going for a list of reminders of everything I want to do at some point. I will not have time to do all this. Only a few things will have deadlines, the rest are merely aspirational, and I'll be updating the list throughout the year.

Writing Projects
[ ] Update the list of my original WIPs.
[ ] Update the list of my fanfic WIPs
[ ] Start Outline Docs (0/?)
[ ] Finish 1 shorter project (the Once a Bard and His Friends Took a Train" story)
[ ] Line-Edit of A Werewolf in October with deadline week 41 aka 11th of October: 11 233 words & 4 251 paragraphs left - current update is from the 2nd of Januari at 18.07
[ ] Join the "50k goal"-writing group in November 2026

This is quite the list! Good luck with everything!

[nonesensed]

Thank you! I have so many fun things to look forward to 💖

[wearing_tearing]

Good luck with all of your goals! I hope you're able to tackle most of them :D

[nonesensed]

Thank you kindly, I hope so too! Gotta have a ton of plans, to stop myself from working overtime all the time XD

[wearing_tearing]

Gotta have a ton of plans, to stop myself from working overtime all the time XD
This is SUCH a hard same for me. Need to have fun stuff to do so work doesn't become my entire life.

For a more balanced 2026 <3

[flo_nelja]

That's an impressive list, go you!

[nonesensed]

Thank you, thank you! I don't plan on doing everything on it, but it's good to have a place where I can check in and go "what did I want to do this year?" 😊

[scintilla10]

Oh, wow, what a list! "Aspirations" is a nice way to think about a goal list. :D Good luck!!

[nonesensed]

Oh yeah, I'm definitely not doing all this in 2026 (especially as I plan to also add a watch/rewatch/finish part of this list XD), but I hope it's a good tool for me to use - to remind myself of life outside of work 😊 Thank you for the luck, it will absolutely be needed 😆💖
