Creative Goals for May

[mnemehoshiko]

 or hello ambition my old nemesis~
A list of creative ambitions/aspirations I have for this month.

Work
- Getting the introduction for project 1 paper completed

Approach: 
Told my boss I would get the draft of the introduction to her this coming Monday! Which means that's what my focus this weekend is! 
I also have to put together a poster so this is good on two fronts.
I really should make a flowchart of the steps needed because I go into decision paralysis again.

- Cover letter practice
Approach: 
Epi bestie gave me a copy of a cover letter book, so going through that. My goal is to get 10 apps out this month. *claws face off*

- Data Viz practice
Approach: I want to do Tidy Tuesday regularly! Problem: I am a perfectionist and that actively hinders me. A lot. So my goal is to allot myself 45-60mins to make a visualization. The goal isn't depth but breadth and to improve my existing github portfolio.

Writing

- Write for 15 days (yes, I am behind but this post counts so there) for getyourwordsout.
Approach 1: Work on revising original piece that I entered into a competition. It got clobbered and honestly rightfully so because I was a bit too subtle on genre but I got some friends to give feedback and now I need to implement it.
Approach 2: External GUILT because I am awful at internal motivation. Looking at fandomcalendar comm for inspiration and planning on at least doing 3 drabbles for kanthony week. Also doing comment_bingo because I need to comment more and I gamify everything in my life

- Write up reasoning for why my chara for None the Wiser deserves to multi-class into wizard for my DM because I love giving reasoning and she is somehow balancing two campaigns and she doesn't want them to clash incorrectly.

- Make a rec post.

Approach: This is partially because cortue  is a deeply inspiring human being who is?? Organized?? about things?? And I feel bad randomly inflicting my likes on others in a non-organized fashion. Yes, this is very much a Me thing. We're working on it.

 

- Make an intro post.
Approach: I am trying to become more organized and I want to use dw more so *shruggles*

Crafting
- I'm still working on my TKGA Level 1 thingy and I stalled for a few months because I didn't wanna work on my essay bit but I am back and I'm going to get back to working on it because I would like my submission binder to be done by Sept. T_T
Approach: well I said I wanted to catch up on netflix?
