1/1/09 Resolutions ‘09

By Flak | Comments: 8

Following up on this post and continuing a tradition.

- I need to write more. Specifically, more Tundra of Heroes and Night Switch.

- I need to read more (especially, web serials) and leave more comments on people’s sites. I’ve realized how important feedback is to me, and I understand that other people need it too.

- I need to watch less anime. Oddly enough, last year I said I needed to watch more. Now I’m not in danger of being dragged into video games (I really, really don’t like them) and down time can be spent on brainstorming for stories or sleeping.

- I should rewatch all of Aria and remember the love.

- I need to finish Alar’s Geek Squad comic. It’s been due for eight months.

Yeah, that’s it. Just those five. Most of my resolutions from last year were 100% successful, and I don’t have a lot of things I can think of to improve right now (as I’m in a transition phase in my life between work and school). As for goals for Dreams of the Quill, I’ll cover those tomorrow in my “State of DotQ 2009″ post.

So, DotQ, world—what’s up with you for 2009?

  1. I never make serious resolutions. Well, I never have, it’s not like I’m against them. Good on you for watching less anime, everyone should conform to my prejudices. Um, isn’t Aria an anime?

  2. @Karamazov: yes, Aria is an anime. So the idea is that I watch little enough anime that I can rewatch Aria while still watching less than I am now.

  3. Yes, you do need to finish it… but then again, I’m further behind on other things, so don’t feel too bad!

  4. @Alar: that’s a reason for you to feel bad, not for me to feel good. I’m unacceptably behind.

  5. Aria.. i just was involved in a short conversation about it. Since I brought up the fact that Kawai Eri had passed away in August, and I hadn’t heard about it.

    But who isn’t behind on one or 5 or more animes?

  6. @Kris: it was sad news to me. Undine is one of my favorite songs ever, so soothing. Definitely try out Aria if you can—it’s great!

    Oh, and happy new year :)

  8. My only resolution this year is to finish cleaning my apartment. It’s bound to happen some time, and when it does, I will be much better off.
