2024

EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR IS WITHOUT REASON AND WITHOUT CAUSE

YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE BECAUSE YOU ARE SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE THOUGHT OF

YOUR FUTURE ISNT ANYTHING BUT THE CONTINUED ITERATION OF THE PRESENT

THE PAST HOLDS YOU, BUT IT CANNOT TOUCH YOU

SOFTEN THE WHETSTONE IN THE RIVER, CUT THE SCALPEL ON THE LACE

NOTHING HAS AN "ESSENCE", EVERYTHING IS RECONSTRUCTABLE BEYOND RECOGNITION

#z #half of these are helens concepts #notebook #new years resolutions

2024 resolutions:

acquire a long cloak and stand menacingly in the forest

hoard shiny trinkets

befriend the crows

become the witch of the woods

use the library more

scream at the moon

#forestcore #cryptidcore #goblincore #cottagecore #chaotic cottagecore #<- is that a thing? well it is now #new years resolutions #the moon #witchcore #my post

2024

- REPLACE OVER-APOLOGIZING WITH “THANK YOU FOR LISTENING” WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

- LEARN HOW TO CHANGE A TIRE (PREFERABLY NOT OUT OF NECESSITY).

- ATTEND THE BAR TRIVIA NIGHTS YOU WRITE ABOUT.

- TAKE YOUR TIME PAINTING SOMETHING.

- BRING THE DOG SWIMMING.

- BAKE A BERRY PIE.

- SUMMER WILL LOOK LIKE RENTED KAYAKS.

- AUTUMN WILL LOOK LIKE SINGING NORAH JONES WITH THE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN.

- REINTRODUCE YOURSELF TO A FAVORITE FOREST. BRING A HOUSEWARMING GIFT.

- IF APPLICABLE, IF POSSIBLE, HOLD GRIEF WITH AN EQUAL GRATITUDE FOR HAVING HAD THE CHANCE TO LOVE WHAT’S GONE.

2024

OUR KINDNESS AND OUR RAGE, OUR DESPAIR AND OUR JOY ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE TO EACHOTHER, THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME

CREATE MORE THAN YOU CONSUME

THE WORLD BEGINS AND ENDS AT YOUR DINNER TABLE, WHO YOU SET THE TABLE FOR IS WHO HELPS BUILD THE UNNIVERSE

FORGET ETERNITY AND PERMANCE LOVE IS EVER TRANSFORMTIVE AND TERRIBLE

REVELUTION IS GOD, COMPASSION IS WORSHIP, FORGETTING IS EVIL

Some suggestions for new years resolutions

for wikipedia I want to add that you should ideally edit within your field of study, work or interest. Like you should know a bit about it if you're adding content. Of course if you're fixing typos or such that still counts and you don't have to know much (except like, the language obviously).

Drafting Your Creative Time: Your Guide to Planning a Year of Creative Writing

2024 is about to start. You’re going to venture into another year of writing incredible stories, but what will that practically look like? I feel more in charge of my creativity by planning rough writing schedules. Here’s how you can do the same without locking yourself into a too-strict calendar that leaves your writing spirit depleted.

Set One Writing Goal

Twelve months is a lot of time, but anyone can handle a single goal. Make the next year easy on yourself by picking one thing you want to accomplish (and let’s not make it “publish my novel” if you’re just starting the manuscript on January 1, given how it takes roughly 18 months of work after you get an agent) (and that can take a few weeks to a few years, depending on your querying experience!).

Try picking a manageable writing goal like these:

I will write 10 chapters of my novel.

I will make a collection of 5 short stories I write this year.

I will submit a short story to at least 3 contests this year.

I will publish one new work of fanfiction in the next 12 months.

I will write one short story in a new genre.

Publishing a book can be a long-term goal, but your 2024 goal should be easy to break down into manageable steps you can accomplish by yourself. You’ll be more likely to reach the finish line and work toward another goal.

Establish a Stress-Free Writing Schedule

Creativity comes and goes, but your writing will never get done if you don’t form some kind of schedule. Your upcoming year could look something like this:

I’ll write every Wednesday night between 7-7:30 p.m.

I’ll use voice-to-text to get my story-related thoughts on virtual paper for five minutes every morning before school.

I’ll do freestyle writing for five minutes on Mondays and Saturdays to keep my thoughts flowing, even if I don’t find more time to work on my story that week.

Your schedule should be realistic, which means it shouldn’t stress you out. Make it match your weekly and daily routine. When do you naturally feel most energized? When can you carve out ten minutes for your craft?

Remember, you can always (and should!) adjust this set schedule as time goes on. Your non-creative schedule most likely won’t look the same on January 1 as it will on December 31.

Save a Few Writing Prompts

You might have a few weeks here or there when you’re juggling life’s responsibilities and can’t get to your WIP. It happens to all of us!

When you’re busy, try answering a writing prompt in three sentences or less. Use your phone, a sticky pad, or whatever’s nearby. You never know if it’ll inspire you later when you’re free to write.

In the meantime, you’ll keep using the creative side of your brain so your writing abilities don’t feel so distant.

Check out these prompt apps if getting online isn’t your thing or takes too much time from your busy schedule!

Find a Writing Community

There are so many ways to build a writing community. Start a tumblr about it (guilty as charged) or join a Facebook group. Find an active Reddit thread about your favorite genre or join a Discord server with writers.

You don’t even need to start talking to others and making friends if it makes you anxious. Read what people are saying to get inspired by everyone. You’ll naturally join in when you get excited about something they’re discussing and keep creative writing at the front of your mind.

Read Lots of Books

I always feel more connected to my writing when I’m actively reading. Artists of any kind need a source of inspiration to keep their creativity flowing. Keep an actively growing To Be Read list with apps like Story Graph (a Goodreads-type app that isn’t owned by Amazon and gives so much more information about your curated reading history!).

Visit your local library if you don’t have the money for new books all the time (who does?). As you get inspired by what you read, you’ll also pick up skills from authors you admire or note things you don’t want to recreate. Study each story’s structure and character development. You’ll return to your WIPs with renewed passion.

Embrace the Scary Editing Stage

Your first draft is your thoughts and dreams poured out on paper. The editing stage is where you refine and re-write your work until it shines. Set aside specific time for editing after completing a first draft of any story. Even if your editing phase doesn’t take very long, working on line edits and developmental edits will make your work so much better.

It’s also a normal form of frustration for writers, but one that happens no matter where your writing goes (on fanfiction websites, short story contests, a literary agent’s desk, etc.).

Schedule Your Rest

Writing might feel like a natural hobby, but your brain and body still need to rest after periods of intense focus/work. Schedule rest periods into your daily or weekly calendar. It’s time to recharge in whatever ways best suit your body, like:

Sitting outside

Walking in a park

Reading

Sitting in a hot bath

Going to the movies

Sleeping in

Keep in mind that sometimes you’ll need more rest than others. Extend some self-compassion by checking in with your physical and mental energy frequently during the next year. If you take time to rest, you’ll be less likely to burn out creatively.

-----

This next year will be full of growth, challenges, and joys in your writing life. Embrace every second by resting and writing in new ways.

TAKE IT SERIOUSLY

YOUR SHAME IN NOT BREAKING THE CYCLE IS PRECISELY HOW THE CYCLE WILL CONTINUE

YOU CAN ONLY MAKE YOURSELF WHO YOU ARE YOU CANNOT CHOOSE IT

HOW YOU SPEND THE NEXT 10 YEARS CHANGES NOTHING AND HOW YOU SPEND THE NEXT 10 MINUTES CHANGES EVERYTHING

BUT DONT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY MORE THAN YOU HAVE TO. STAY WHIMSYMAXXED

2024 General Goal:

10 years ago I started this blog and my fitness journey. Above is after 1 year of consistent training and regulated diet. I made better progress than I had originally thought possible. It’s been a roller coaster of ups and downs ever since and I’ve slipped quite a ways from where I once was but also have a big head start from where I originally started. The general goal for 24 is to get back to where I was after the first year by the end of this one.

How I get there will be different as many life circumstances have changed, past injuries have presented some limitations and my body is just 10 years older in general. But I look forward to the challenge, relearning what I once did and sharing the ups and downs of the journey here. I know I won’t look exactly the same but I can still remember how I felt and that’s the goal!

Bad news, Antisemites.

Y’all have shown me that your understanding of Jews and Judaism is so minuscule that you essentially know nothing about us.

Your ignorance has caused and continues to cause massive harm to the Jewish community worldwide.

Among my ‘24 resolutions is to be more visibly Jewish and explore theological and cultural experiences and traditions openly.

Some of y’all need to see Judaism in action so that you stop making unfounded assumptions about my people.

Your antisemitism has ensured that you will be seeing more Judaism. Not sorry about it.

#antisemitism #when you’re mean to Jews we will simply Jew harder #2024 #new years resolutions #I’m still on my SMBC journey too #’24 resolutions #i/p #israel #palestine

Deep down, we know it to be true. We know that possessions don't equal joy. And we know full well that our lives are too valuable to waste chasing them.
