Sunshine Revival - Challenge #1

 Challenge #1

Journaling Prompt: Light up your journal with activity this month. Talk about your goals for July or for the second half of 2025.

For full transparency I find goals to be a little overwhelming, so these are tentative things I'd like to do rather than 'I'm definitely going to complete these', for my sanity. 

July goals

FIC/FANNISH GOALS

• Write One more fic for VeinFei Week
• Write a drabble sequence for Xia Fei's birthday 
• Do something to celebrate Xia Fei's birthday (I'm thinking a movie since his character profile specifies he likes movies, and/or a picnic!)

PERSONAL GOALS 

• Prepare + get through my grad ceremony without having a breakdown (lmao)
• Continue going on walks a few times a week 
• Reduce my phone screen time at least a little...

Longer term goals for the rest of the year include:

FIC/FANNISH 

• Write SGDLR exchange fic
• Write pt.3 of piercing the window paper series
• Do something fun for Vein's birthday in August! (Hotpot restaurant...perhaps... ^^)

PERSONAL (movement, work, and hobby goals)

• Get back into going to the gym (if money allows)
• Get back into running (if foot allows orz)
• Go to a fitness class (very curious as to whether I'd even enjoy one of these) OR a dance class

• Rewrite CV
• Start looking for part-time work
• Get proactive about looking for experience + opportunities in the publishing industry

• Get back into writing original fiction (this would be an autumn/winter endeavour I think)
• Start a substack (maybe. I'm thinking about it)
• Solidify reading into my everyday routine (I want to read more!!! I've only read eight books this year...)
