Art Movement: Arts and Crafts

Arts and Crafts

Set yourself a goal that you think you can complete between today, February 1st, and May 1st. This can be a number of colors completed, a certain palette, a number of styles or supplies used, a word count, a combination of these-- anything that you regard as a challenge. Comment on this post with your goal.

On May 1st, one of the mods will put up a post where you can comment reiterating your goal and whether or not you completed it. If you complete your goal, you get twenty Novelty Beads prompts. If you can sell your goal as being related to the Arts and Crafts movement, you'll get five prompts whether you completed it or not.

Goal-setting runs from today, February 1st, to February 15th. The challenge runs from today to May 1st. We will have an Amnesty Week immediately after.

Set your goals in this post, and happy writing!

Well, according to my spreadsheet, the only official rainbowfic goals I'll complete in that time period are 30 Life Drawings and 10 Gessos, but this is not much of a challenge at the moment, because I am currently at 29 and 8 respectively. But since it doesn't have to be a rainbowfic goal... if I keep up with GYWO, I should get at least 18k words written in those three months. I was way ahead of my goal all last year, but I've fallen a little behind at the start of this one, so it might be more of a challenge this year.

Do you think it would be better to formalize it as "18k more words" which is slightly laxer, or "24,657 total words since January 1" which is the actual GYWO goal for May 1?

I guess another, more rainbowfic specific goal would be to post the 17 additional posts I plan to make in that time period, or maybe just at least 16 of them, I've sometimes fallen behind on my schedule so it's not a sure thing.
