Personal Goals for 2013!

Hello 2013! And hello to all my readers that still read these! Thank you for sticking around so long and not giving up when I thought I did!

Looking back over 2012, I am not quite sure what to think of it! It was an on and off year, I suppose, more off than on, but I plan to use the energy I saved up in 2012 to make 2013 one heck of a year! I did some awesome things in 2012, like attended my first festival, went to Crete, got a job. But mentally, 2012 was a bit of a downer for me, so making 2013 a recovery!

Why is this post so late, I hear you cry?! It's nearly February, I hear you cry?! I know, I know, don't worry! I planned all along to kick it off again around this time! What's the point in writing a New Years Resolution blog when by mid January we would all be tucking back into those left over Celebrations from Christmas, the gym long forgotten! Instead, I am making Personal Goals for the year!

I want to achieve more this year and make my life better for myself, not just short term goals, but long term ones too. I felt like my flare and passion for life had died a little in 2012, so I am bringing it back in 2013, I'm going to light myself up (like the fourth of July).

Now, on to those personal goals!

1. Finish a story! (aka Write a 50,000 novel in 31 days because you are a crazy fool)
~With this one, I have started already, though I fell behind last week when I got ill, but I am picking it back up today, I WILL get this done!! I have always written stories, and love writing, but I have never completed one! So this year, I told myself, I want to complete one of my stories, and then this escalated into the challenge of writing 50,000 words in 31 days...I AM CRAZY. But I will do it, I can feel it in my bones. It's even more of a challenge because it's the first sci-fi story I will be writing *le gasp* I usually write fantasy, but sci-fi has always interested me! Wish me luck!

2. Finish AT LEAST one chapter of my comic
~ Yup, another creative one, but I need to get that spark back! And what better way than actually doing my comic! This will be the next creative project after my novel, so once Subject 10 (the novel) is finished, I will move on to starting my comic! I already know what it is about and have Chapter 1 planned out in writing and began drafts, I just need to kick myself up the bum and draw!

3. Lose another stone (and get into healthy eating habits)
~ This one is more a long term goal, as I want to lose a bit more weight and then I will be happy with myself and I want to get into the good habits of eating healthily. I don't want to diet, I want to change my lifestyle! If I can get into good habits and lose weight, it will help keep the weight off!

4. GET FIT
~ I need the stamina. I get worn out after a brisk walk for 20 minutes. I want to build up my stamina so I can enjoy life more! I want to go for long nature walks, walk up hills, mountains, conquer places I have never been before, walk all the way around Portsmouth, stuff like that! I want to have the stamina to keep up with my boyfriend (NOT in the way you are thinking :P Or is it...;D ). Getting fit and healthy will give me that energy boost and stamina boost to live life the way I WANT to!

5. Blog More!
~ Because I was terrible at it in 2012! I love blogging, but I just didn't do it enough, and I totally want to get back into it, not just on this one, but on my media one too, where I will be reviewing local events as well as films, games and music! I don't want to be blogger famous, I just want to bring people good reading! If you have any tips or ideas for me, just comment below!

6. Save up enough money to do what I want!
~ This is a grouped one, because I want to go on holiday, and build my PC, and other things! But I am terrible at saving money, so this one will be a challenge for me! I've already started a budget sheet where I write down my daily spends on it and money coming in and out! This month I'm not doing too well...but I am trying haha!! Once I get my computer, I can do things like make a video game, edit drawings on photoshop, and review games better!! So over all, saving money would improve my life, haha!

7. Be a better girlfriend
~ Because I am a bit selfish to be honest, so this one I am dedicating to my boyfriend so I can make him happy. which will make me happy!

So there you have it, that's my personal goals for 2013! I've already started working on one or two, its baby steps, but I will get there! I will be happier by the end of the year, not a new me, but an improved me! Kitty 2.0!

STAY BEAUTIFUL and thank you for reading!

Do you like reading?

Hey guys! Sorry its been over a month! I've been for ever busy with college and all sorts! I have also been very lazy and low on energy, so forgive me for that!

Now, to the subject of this blog post!

As some of you might know, I like to write, mainly fantasy stories! I write a lot of different ones, but at the moment I am focusing on one certain project, called High School Horrors, which I started in 2009. It's currently made up of 23 'parts' and is still going. The reason it is in parts is because I write as I go along and upload a bit and a bit each time, on deviant art! Now, like most things in my life at the moment, HSH took a break for a couple of months, just like my blog and drawing and every thing else. But it is now BACK and I have promised myself to focus on it more! I am writing this blog entry to introduce you to the story a bit and just to see if any of you are willing to give a bit of time reading an amateurs work! Since it's split into parts, you don't have to read it all in one go, but a bit at a time!

High School Horrors is about a group of four friends who end up at a weird school at aged 18. Here they learn the truth about the world, and themselves; magic is real and they are very much part of it. Several different races live on the planet, hidden as humans, and a whole need world, an alternate world, is accessible to those who know about it. Unfortunately, that's not the only thing new to our heroes. A terrible enemy, soldiers made of pure darkness, invisible evils and even the undead are what they have to fight against in a tale of fantasy, magic, love and discovering who you really are. And sometimes, that is not a good thing.

I love all comments, as I hardly ever get any to do with my writing!

Do let me know what you think <3 This project is my creative baby!

STAY BEAUTIFUL
