I made a lot of writing resolutions for 2017, along with some general life ones e.g. the stereotypical “go back to the gym on a regular basis” but I didn’t make any resolutions as a reader.

Today probably isn’t a good day for it, as real life is all over the place and I think I’ve caught my families cold of doom. My brain feels broken, which isn’t exactly conducive to thinking of good comments. However, that being said, it’s a resolution not a “you’ll be beaten to death if you fail” so there’s no harm in setting it as a target.

Anyway, my resolution is to read a fic at least 3x a week which DOESN’T cross my dash. If a fic comes up on my dash, then unless it’s really long I tend to read it then and there. So current WIP’s/short fics aren’t the problem. It’s all the long fics people have on their masterlists which I’ve never read, or fics I’ve got behind on. I want to make more of an effort. Just lately I’ve fallen into a trap of following a couple of authors/handful of WIP’s and not really reading much else. I should do better.

So yeah, that’s my resolution for 2017. At least 3x a week set aside half an hour to read some older fics/fics I didn’t have time for when they were posted. Those fics deserve love as well 🙂
