Good morning, Readers!

Yesterday, I looked back on 2018 and went through the goals I had made about this time last year to see what I had managed to do, and what I utterly failed at. I failed more than I succeeded, but I cared more about the things I succeeded at, so I'm not all that upset about it.
As with last year, I don't have resolutions this time. I have goals. They're things to work towards; a to-do list for the year, not some hodge-podge of vague wishes and dreams. They are actionable things that I can do to improve my life. This year, I'm using what I've learnt from my failures last year to populate this list. So, here we are, my goals for 2019:

Writing Goals (Again, the most important)
- Complete Outcast rough draft.
- Send Outcast to Beta Readers.
- Put Soldier out on the submissions circuit.
- Review Beta Reader 3's comments on Outworlder (Avalon, Book 1) and make edits accordingly.
- Get a better title for Outworlder.
- Put Outworlder out on the submissions circuit.
- Complete Avalon, Book 2 (doesn't actually have a title yet) rough draft.
- Send Avalon, Book 2 to Beta Readers.
- Acquire an agent.
Health Goals
- Continue the current work-out schedule: Mon, Wed. Fri weight-training, Tue, Thu, Sat skipping.
- Get to 3 x 10 minute intervals of skipping per skipping session.
- Continue martial arts training and teaching.
- Run a 5K obstacle course again.
- Run a proper 5K race.
Personal Goals
- Learn a new skill - either learn guitar or oil paining. I haven't decided which, but I'm leaning heavily towards learning the guitar.
- Decide which new skill I want to start learning.
- Move onto level 2 in my Welsh language learning, FFS, you've been at this for years, Sonia.
- Learn to drive.
- Get a learner's permit so I can learn to drive.
- Get that tattoo, dammit!
- Maybe do that Bob Ross paint-along thing for YouTube.
Okay, that's my goal list for 2019. Most of these are pretty attainable, actually. I think. I mean, I thought meditation was attainable last year, and we all know how that turned out.
What are the big things you would like to do in 2019? I'm not talking about resolutions like 'lose weight' or anything like thing. I mean goals - actionable, attainable goals. Leave them in the comments below, so I can wave my pompoms and cheer for you!
Well, I'll be back at work tomorrow, and the pre-written and scheduled blog posts will have ceased. I wonder if I'll have anything to blog about. We'll find out!
Until then, ciao!
