you won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules

snowflake_challenge prompt 4:

In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

here are goals I set in a comment elsewhere:

goal 1: finish writing where the firelight fades and post the first chapter as hobbit birthday presents 2020 Jan 13

goal 2: write a novel-length story that starts out intended as a novel-length story (firelight, currently 44K, didn't; I don't recall that the only longer thing I've ever written did either, idk it was over a decade ago; these two things and one 20K piece of crap are the only things I've ever gotten into written words that cleared 15K at all)

those are verbatim from my Jan 1 comment. (except I've added the link to the teaser collection post.) since firelight is currently 45K (of an estimated 50–55K) and today is Jan 7, goal 1 probably needs revision to Jan 20?
