New Year Resolution 2023
Articles
I imagined what's inside my head similar to this when I was making the river challenge but never did. Annie Stein managed to do it perfectly, and it inspire me a lot on how CSS can do.
What I'm interested in this article the most is her daily life section. It gave the character more believable and so more immersive to the reader.
The children's book seems to be the simplest form of writing to tell the story - so few words yet so powerful. And also pretty cute pictures.
The images fit the article pretty well. I think I have to do this more often.
I tried figuring out the possibility to publish a plot article for a long time; this is one of them.
I love when the article only captured its origin but it affects many next generations.

Clarify the narration of Terraloga
After I published my first plot, To Find The Fishy Menace, the most present story right now, I started to figure out the narration I wanted. Terraloga is supposed to be the story-driven world that last generations, so I plan to update the world's timeline live until the end of the story. I will update it via quotes, plot articles, and discussion boards.
Better Visuals
I want to update/rework all my world's visuals such as maps and images to make them look more consistent; Some of them haven't been updated since my first year. Practicing arts is a very fun game, so why not have fun with it again in 2023?
Create monthly post
I've lost focus of anything recently, making a lot of things so delayed it's overdue ( including this article :P) Making monthly posts would help me fix my scheduling problem. The post is about the report of articles, arts, and some personal life. Start on the first of February.
Write a fiction
I want to make this for a long time but back then I'm inexprienced, and now I think it's time to make it so. It can be a screenplay, short stories, CYOA, or just pure, backbone plot summaries (here and here). My goal is to create a complete story/plot that's good enough to be published.
New worlds
Sometimes crafting things on the same theme over and over is a bit exhausting, or some ideas that don't fit the theme but what to share whatsoever. Creating new worlds for dumping ideas would be the solution. I have several ideas in mind and I'm ready to make them real.
Make a living out of my projects
This would have been the hardest thing to do. After 4 years of developing my beloved project, I think it's time to make it something that could stable my life. My decision started to be obvious when things goes wrong. The financial crisis started to hit me hard, but the plan didn't work out. Getting a job does not help me overcome this anymore and I feel very upset (and my parents too), so I want to make it before it is too late - or at least the best I can.
Oh oh oh, what a great article selection with amazing goals. I recently stretched a few articles into different worlds after focusing one world for years, and this helps. I hope you have a great new year pressing forward with your goals. May your quill never run dry.
Thank you! :3
