    I want to actually finish a decent story and maybe post it on Mibba, improve my descriptions (and with that, stop using the same cliched ones over again), and just have general confidence in my writing.

    I will finish a story. I've been doing serious writing since I was nine (yeah, I know it's not "serious" when you're nine, but what I mean is that's when I started taking my writing seriously), but I have never finished a story in these eight years of writing. Ever. But this year, I think Gaunt will be my first-ever completed story. <3

    Oh, and I will write a story that does not revolve around drugs or is drug-related.
    ...Maybe. It's so hard. :/

    Let's hope 2011 is a good year for my writing.

    I want to and hopefully will finish writing, editing/revising/proofreading Genocide and finally get it posted on here.
    Preferably, I should quit abandoning my series about Marrissa (my OC).
    I need to finally figure out what the hell I want to do with Supernatural Tour and its surrounding verse exactly so I can hope to have them finished (or more realistically just around half done, if that.) I keep revising and getting blocked and repeating the vicious cycle.
    Complete a story of some sort in both the Doctor Who and X-Files fandoms, and incidentally complete my crossover fic of both those universes.
    Keep up the good work with writing oneshots on a semi-regular basis. On a related note, play Trick or Drabble this year if it's done again this year.

    Yeah, I've given myself enough so that if I don't get it all done I'll have to (hopefully) at least get some of it done and thus feel accomplised.

    I want to promote consistency with my stories.
    Not only editing and proofreading or building off of comments,
    but also finding more time to write and the inspiration & drive to.

    I'm not going to give up as easily when I have writer's block either.

    But I won't schedule these type of things; I find that to be virtually useless.
    When I have the time and personal need to write, I will do it.
    Story schedules will throw off my already shaky balance.

    I want to post my OF story.

    I want to at least get half way through Fortuna Major by the end of the year.
    And hopefully improve my writing along the way. XD

    Complete And in the End there's Only Darkness (without rushing it just for the sake of finishing it).
    Start working on an idea I have for an OF story.

    OH GOD PLEASE DO In Love
    that's been one of my favorite stories on here for a long, long time.

    -

    I was thinking about it today, and I want to write something really out of my comfort zone this year. Thing is, I've gotta find something that makes me so excited and just write it, even if I think I'll ruin the idea.

    Finish Edenham.
    Finish Of Rhinos & Griffins too, and not take more than a year with it like I've done with Edenham.
    Start some of the ideas that I've had forever.
    Write a proper long story involving characters that are not teenagers.
    Try something more descriptive, even if it's only a one-shot.

    I want to develop different writing styles.
    Also, I'd like to read more. I don't get to and it is terrible.
    I also want to write a story that DOES NOT involve mental illnesses.

    I need to succeed in my crazy idea of doing NaNoWriMo every month for a year and being rewarded with twelve shiny new novels on November 30th.

    I need to try and write every day, even if it's just a little bit.

    Instead of saying to myself, "That's a good idea, I'll make that a one-shot later," I'll write that one-shot right away, or if that's not practical, as soon as possible.

    Every song that even sparks the slightest idea becomes a story or a one-shot!

    Find my story's complication.

    I want to actually finish some of the longer fics I've started, including two Candyfics from like, 2009 and an MCR one I started recently.
    I want to start and finish my epic Olli/Peter Crashdiet fic.
    I want to write more in all my fandoms, rather than becoming so engrossed in one in particular and abandoning everything from the other fandoms while I write in it.
    I want to do some crack pairings and crossovers, [like maybe Cat Casino/Zillah from Lost Souls [which has kind of sat in the back of my head for a long time now] and maybe some more in the way of Cat/Peter London [which has been in one fic, but I want to make it the main pairing one day].

    I want to get a least half way through It's All in the Stars and Kaleidoscopic.
    I also want to make the updates come out more than once every few months and for them to be good.

    Have some more confidence in my writing.
    Post more of my stories on Mibba.
    Write a chaptered story and post it on Mibba. Excluding my NaNo novels (and a 10 word for chapter/ten chapters story), it's been a long time since I've posted a chaptered story on Mibba.
    Write some longer oneshots.
    Become a better writer.
