Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith]

>> Hiiii I just came over from journalsandplanners. I just started working on my 2025 goals list so this seemed like a good opportunity to meet people.<<

Yay! I was hoping to catch some people from there, and for that timing.

>> Atlanta, GA! <<

That's a pretty place. I'm in central Illinois.

>> TBA, since I've just started making my 2025 list! I'm also considering doing 101 goals in 1001 days again. I'll probably post about it in January.<<

I haven't started mine yet for 2025.

I tried finding a tracker for 101 and couldn't. :/ That's going to be really inconvenient because it's a popular challenge.

>>It's kind of all over the map. I try to do a mixture of self improvement, health stuff, creative stuff, and fun stuff.<<

Mine are always mixed. There's a big section of writing goals but also other creative stuff, practical items, experiences, etc.

>>Mostly looking for people to follow!<<

I post something almost every day, often more. I tend to track my goals right on that post, and only do update announcements in January. So if you watch the current goal list, you'll see things get marked as "met."

>>I have two elderly sugar gliders! They are both rescues. They are my sweet baby boys and I love them dearly, though I wouldn't recommend them as pets to most people.<<

They're in the "advanced" category but are adorable. I've seen one that a friend had. <3 I think the coolest trick is that, once bonded, they'll jump off things and glide to you. But if you build them a big enough enclosure, they're pretty entertaining to watch climbing and floating around. I've seen pictures online of repurposed closets and even spare rooms.

>>At minimum once a month, though I'm going to try to do a little bit more in 2025. It'll help if I have more people to follow and comment on, I think.<<

You might explore recurring posts, that helps with activity levels. If you like links, I post a LOT of those.

>>How active do you like a blog to be?
Weekly is probably the sweet spot, but more or less than that isn't a dealbreaker. Daily is probably a little much for me.<<

Yeah, mine may be too fast then. Some folks keep a list of blogs to check periodically, which avoids flooding their inbox with high-traffic ones like fandomcalendar.
