What are your goals for 2021?

[VibrantFox]

honestly just make it, tbh. 2020 has been a ride so as long as i wake up and the world is still intact that'd be enough. but if i did have to set any then i guess it'd be:

• continue to let myself experiment with art
• get back into working on my comics and find a comfortable workflow
• finally give myself the time to have fun and work on my au comics because i deserve it
• sleep
• go outside more. just sit under a tree and smell the air (i miss the sun)

other than that tho i'm chillin

[ratscout]

I would love to:

-Finish up my master's degree
-Finish my manuscript for traditional publishing
-revise my self-pub story Inheritance
-start the 3rd part of Inheritance
-finish up my other two self-pub stories
-Get another short story published
-attain the skills needed to further my career in psychology.
-Gain a consistent audience for my writing.

Wishing you best of luck with all of your goals, and it's so cool to see so many people on this thread dedicated to learning Japanese!!

[RL4]

YES to chilling!! While working towards goals is important, I think it's also important to relax and rest — especially from everything that's happened in 2020.

xD When I make a list of goals for the next year, I am always happy when I complete at least one ^^ I stopped thinking that if I didn't complete more, I had failed somehow. Little victories are steps towards improvement uwu

My goals for 2021:
1. Exercise more
2. Continue eating well
3. Read more books (I haven't sat down and read a book/novel, on the web or physical book since last year Dx)
4. Reach 70-90 episodes of Paw Print Promise (possibly take a break and make a buffer)
5. Start or finish creative projects I didn't do or finish this year, finish them if I can next year
6. Practice drawing backgrounds more.
7. Learn one new skill!

I hope the best for all of us next year. Much love everyone

(Thanks for inviting me to this topic @Golden_Acorn)

Yeah I just want to be able to read my twitter feed. There's some pretty incredible artists on there and I'm tired of being illiterate youknow?

[WolfUnderTheMoon89]

I got better at that. I´m taking pills now because I´m always exhausted
but never tired like a normal person
other goals
-working on my comics and my drawing skills,
perspective being on top of the list
-finishing the illustrations for my brother´s book
-recording songs, writing songs, I´m trying to release 3 albums next
year

My goal is... to not die, I guess. Includes not killing myself. Literally that's all I can reasonably expect from myself.
I don't have any creative goals anymore, I'm really just running on fumes (physically and mentally) after this year.

@Prisim, same goal here. I'm in a tough situation rn and have to get a job quick but there aren't even many offers where I could apply at all, much less ones where I can actually hope to get the job. ...well, if I don't get employed, my goal of not dying will be much harder to achieve

[Prisim]

It's definitely a crap situation to be in! Just keep chipping away at it and remind yourself same as I am, that eventually someone has to bite. I've given myself a drop dead date of finding a job on my own before I go through a staffing agency and just take temp job after temp job until one likes me enough to keep me. Really hoping I don't have to go that route.

[O-1-D]

I've improved so much over the last year in terms of my art but I want to keep going;

• Try to get into a proper schedule with my comic, either once a week or fortnightly.
• Improve my sleeping habits
• Graduate University with the highest grades I can
• Resume learning sign language
• Send my screenplays off to places.
• Make peace with my breakup.
• Try to get On the Downside to a wider audience

[itskidchameleon]

hmmm... good question...

off the top of my head I'd say;

• find more time to do art for myself and not just for Uni

• start some kind of ongoing webtoon/webcomic

• get back into some healthy habits I gave up on due to lockdown

• start using social media more and get more followers/mutuals

• interact with online communities/fandoms a bit more

• get through my darn course and get my Honours degree

[Wumbl]

Hmmmmm... for 2020 my goals were to finish Flirting With Death and to get into art school. I've done those things so...

I guess for 2021 it would be:

• start updating Lladro steadily, once the script is more finished
• finish my novel and start uploading it
• pass my first year of art school

Still, I don't like to set new years resolutions (I just don't believe in them) this is just a rough idea of what I would like to do art wise.

I´m always exhausted but never tired like a normal person

THIS has been me since I got back from my Missouri trip. I'm just exhausted everyday, and dealing with the antics surrounding the new task project that I took on earlier this year makes me even MORE tired; it's not the task itself, but dealing with other personalities...I feel SO worn out before the work day is over. There are some days where I want to do art & comic stuffs but I'm just SO TIRED- mentally AND physically.

[SleepsorMaddi]

I agree. I think with the heaviness of a new year's resolution it sets you up to fail.
