sunshine part 1 (?)

[screechfox]

sunshine_revival is a thing that's happening, apparently! The first prompt is to just talk about goals for July and/or the second half of the year, so:

• Nintendo Ring Fit sessions, at least 15 minutes long, at least twice a week. Ideally it would be three times a week, but it's a busy month, specifically on the days when I have the house to myself. So let's say an average of 2.5 times a week!
  
• Writing group every two weeks. I'm still in a writing dry spell; something about it is very hard for the past year or two, and I'm dissatisfied with the results in a way I can't put into words. But I went to a local writing group a couple of times last month and it was really nice just having a space to write (using a notebook helped too).
  
• Read at least a couple of books - I kind of fell off reading in the last couple of months, and I'd like to get back to it, especially when I find myself digital pacing between sites and/or rereading the same brain-off fanfiction for the millionth time.

I'm also in the depths of the house-buying process, but that definitely won't be resolved by the end of July, so that's solidly a second half of the year goal.

A local writing group sounds fantastic! Best of luck with all your goals.

Thank you! The group is really nice, not very structured, just sitting doing writing for a couple of hours, with optional chatting and/or writing prompts.

Good luck! Dry spells are the absolute worst, I got myself out of one recently through drabbles.

Thank you! I did threesentenceficathon earlier this year, which was great, but I haven't managed to transfer the energy of that into longer-form writing just yet.

Good luck with Ringfit - I did it for a long time and enjoyed how many exercises it taught me to do!

Even if Mountain Climber makes me cuss out my yoga mat lmao.

[screechfox]

Haha, I simply refuse to do Mountain Climber. I know it's good and probably exercises a lot of the body but also... no, it's awful!

The depths of house-buying is never fun - hope it moves steadily in the right direction and good luck with your goals

[screechfox]

Thank you! :D

Good luck with the house buying. My partner and I bought a house last year, and I know how stressful it can be. But worth it when you find the right place for yourself!

[screechfox]

Thank you! :D Luckily right now it seems to be going alright (famous last words), I'm mostly waiting on bureaucracy and for the sellers to find a place.

Attending a local writing group sounds like a neat idea! It's great that it was useful. Good luck with the house buying process along with the rest of the goals! I know it's a lot of work but I hope it goes as smoothly as possible. :)
