This year I did some things!

Life Goals

- Don't do that thing you've been thinking about doing. I'm serious, don't do it. Figure out what you need to do to keep going.

It was touch and go for a while, but I'm in a much better place now.

- Be more upfront with people about what you want. Learn to approach life with the attitude that people like you and will help you if you just tell them what you need.

I was surprised to find that a lot of people are dead set on maintaining their own ideas about what they feel I should be able to ask for. So I got lawyers involved, which worked wonders.

- If someone aggressively insults you or otherwise treats you disrespectfully, call them out on it. Otherwise, learn to ignore isolated microaggressions. If someone sends you a stupid email or message on Tumblr, or if someone leaves an ignorant comment on one of your fics or blog posts, delete it immediately and don't think about it again.

I cut a number of toxic people out of my life in 2017, and I am so much happier than I was at the beginning of the year. The #MeToo movement definitely helped. Good job team!

Game Writing Goals

- Submit the Twilight Princess essay by the end of January.

Done!

- Submit one Wind Waker essay in January, one in February, and one in March.

Done!

- Finish the Wind Waker book manuscript by the end of March.

Lol forever. I got a good 25k words into it, though.

- Finish and submit the essay on Final Fantasy X by the end of April.

Haha nope.

Fic Writing Goals

- Finish the "Seat of the Empire" Zelgan fic, and try to figure out a better title. You can start posting it once the entire thing is completed.

Done! For the record, the title ended up being "The Museum of Hyrule."

- Return to the "Legend of the Princess" fic. It would be nice if I could finish it this year, but no pressure. Commission Lightsintheskye to create at least one additional illustration.

Done! And how!! I still have another eight chapters to write, but I can totally finish the story by the end of 2018.

Art Goals

- Do an Impa/Nabooru "Sisters in Arms" illustration for February 1.

Done... although it was a bit late. I posted it earlier this month orz.

- Do a Sheik/Malon "Roses and Violets" illustration for February 14.

Mmmm... I did not do this, but I still want to.

- Turn the "Everyone Loves Mario" sketches into a comic.

Done!

- Finish the "Wind Waker Final Boss Battle" comic.

Done!

- Create a comic based on Link's Awakening.

I refined the script and drew the thumbnails! I am super 100% going to do this over the summer.

There are some things I did not do, but that's okay. 2017 was a tough year, but next year will be better!
