narya_flameSeen others doing this, so let's take a look at what my plans were and what reality did to them...
(ETA after review - actually not bad. I've written more than I realised this year - blue text = a link to a fanwork.)
3) Work on Summer's Song and The City Over the Mountains. I will almost certainly write other things too, but those are my priorities from a longfic perspective. - I posted a chapter of each. It hasn't been a good year for long fic.
Personal
1) Drink more water, instead of automatically reaching for fizzy drinks. - this was going fine until the pandemic struck, then I reverted to drinking a can of Irn Bru a day as my mid-afternoon treat. Oh well.
2) Keep a list of the books I read through the year. - Nope.
3) Learn basic Gaelic. (I've made a start but I'm at the very, very early stages of this. By the end of the year I'd like to be able to construct actual sentences, use tenses properly etc.) - Is toil leam Ghàidhlig gu mòr!

Fannish
1) Co-mod the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang again. - Yep! And we're already into planning for 2021's event, with three new co-mods on board as well.
2) Take part in the following fandom events and exchanges:
I've also taken part in book clubs, instadrabbling sessions and challenges via the SWG. I have pieces mostly written for Festival of Lights and Fandom Trees too, but they need tidying up.
I did sign up for Trick or Treat but ended up defaulting, because not long after I signed up, my Grandma died, which was hideous and hurt like hell. (Technically I defaulted on IS too, but I did still manage to make things for IS because the prompts were so good and I couldn't resist.)
