Change The Way I Review I still haven't found my style when it comes to reviewing. Sadly, I am still flailing about, seeking the perfect form of reviewing for myself. I compare myself to other, bigger, blogs and think, Oh my Gods, how do they do it? One thing I seem to forget is that most of them have had their blogs for years. I am not quite there yet... They have had time to perfect their style of reviews, they don't fumble around as much as me. So throughout 2016 I will try to change that! My reviews shall be better than ever.
Get More Involved In The Community I love the book community! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly! So throughout 2016 I want to become more involved with everyone! Make some friends, not live in this corner all alone. I must shine! I am a pretty shy person. I was terrified of starting a blog. TERRIFIED. But I did it. Now the next step is to talk to others that have also taken the big leap of starting a blog, because I'm not alone out here, in this vast space we call the internet. There is so many other book lovers here! And we must unite!
Get a Steady Amount of Views Some days I get VERY little views, others I get tons. Why? I have no idea. Though I do know, that I would like to put an end to this. I don't want my views to bounce around like their on a trampoline. I want to get a nice, calm, and steady amount of views. Obviously I don't expect hundreds of views each day. That probably won't happen for a while. What I would like is a reliable amount of views each day.
Create a Posting Schedule/ Post More Often This may be one of the reasons my views aren't exactly steady. I post basically whenever I write something. Which isn't exactly the best thing to do. So 2016 shall be the year I post not randomly, but in a more organized fashon. I will give more updates on when I have decided to post each week soon, so look forward to that!
Start a Bookstagram I have a DSLR, I have books, whats holding me back? Well other than fear of course, nothing. So it shall be done. I will create a bookstagram. Throw myself out there. I may get one follower, possibly two. But this time I won't give up. I will keep going, keep posting, keep trying, until I am satisfied.
How Many Books I Want To Read In 2016 This year I would like to read 100 books. I have never counted how many books I read in a year, or anything of the sort. I never felt the need too. This year, since I have a blog, I will!
Expand My Bookshelf In the past I rarely bought books, I always went to the library. I wasn't happy that I did this, but it was practical, so I allowed it. This year, it will all change. I want to buy, and buy, and buy, millions of books. I want to have one of those beautiful bookshelves other people do! The only way to do so is to throw all my money at the bookstore. Unlike your average person who's resolution would be to not buy books, mine is to buy them all.
Read More New Releases I am stuck in the past. Always reading older books, that are still popular, but not shiny and new. This year I would like to read some more new releases. Join the fun that others are having, the fun of enjoying freshly published books.
A writing goal. What's that? Well I have wanted to write a book FOREVER and I have always given up whenever I tried. This year however, I am going to do it. I will write a book. I reeeeaalllyyy wanted to do NaNoWriMo after I found out what it was, but I missed. Then I was considering doing it in 2016, but I realized 1. I can't work with deadlines 2. I would probably give up, and 3. I would have 0 clue what to write about.
Then an idea hit me! Why not make my New Years Resolution to write a book!
I would have the entire year to come up with an idea, and write about it! So I bought a notebook and I am all set to fill it with writing ideas! Once I come up with a foolproof story line, I'll start writing! This way I won't feel pressured to write as fast as humanly possible, and I will have time to come up with an idea! Throughout the year I will be giving updates on my story and it will just be freaking fabulous! If I ever want to scrap my story, I can. However I HAVE to have a book ready to be edited by January 1st, so scrapping probably won't be happening. Anyways, look forward to posts about how my writing is going throughout the year, because they will be there!
Anyways, I would just like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I hope 2016 is amazing for you! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!🎊
