I have one major one that I intend to keep:

DRAW EVERY FREAKING DAY.

I suffered so much through last year's art block that I'm determined not to let it get the better of me this year. I did the Draw Every Day thing in 2009, and it was really cool to look back every few months and see actual progress being made. I don't pressure myself to make a finished work every day, or even anything presentable - it just has to be at least a doodle, or some coloring. I actually have a tumblr for it: http://bbdrawseveryday.tumblr.com/ This is where I'll post my sketches and WIPs and doodles that deserve to see the light of day. 5 days in now, and I'm going strong. 5 days, and I think that's more days than I drew in the last three or four months of 2014. GONNA DO IT. I even bought new pencils and a new clipboard and everything.

My secondary resolution is to keep up a little better with my flist. There are so many cool and talented people that I watch, and I always skim through and think, "I'll comment on this later," and I never get around to it. This needs to change. I want to be more involved with fandom and the awesome people in it, and the only way to do that is to get out there and talk to them.

What are your NY resolutions, flist? Anybody want to join me in drawing every day? We can create a comm and everything, for doodles and sketches and WIPs and encouragement, if enough people are interested.

*So excited to see the art for spn_reversebang! I probably won't be home when it goes up, but I'm sooo looking forward to it. *REFRESHES PAGE FOR AS LONG AS I'M HOME THIS MORNING*

*I'm currently having a lot of fun working on my art for the samdean_otp minibang, yay!

*and working on little doodles for sassy week and samifer week on tumblr (I'm badbastion over there, so creative with my usernames. I'm also very bad at doing follow-backs. I just can't keep up with my dash, and I don't have time to look at everything I want to look at already :I)

*I caved and signed up for spn_j2_xmas and jeeeeez, my signup comment was so long, haha. I hope it's more helpful than it is overwhelming, to have so many options.

*What are some other fun challenge type things going on around the fandom? I don't want to sign up for anything else where I'm required to have something finished by a deadline; two of those is exactly enough for me. I'd prefer things where participation is optional. Any suggestions? :)

*For some reason, I'm not getting email notifications from Livejournal. I checked all my settings, and I just don't know what's up. I'm thinking maybe it's all the free pandas being shared around that's gunking up the system, but another user told me they were getting notifications just fine. HMMM. So if I miss replying to a comment, I'm not ignoring you, I swear, haha.
