Literotica Goals for 2025

To get better by learning from others, and in particular learn new forms. I’ve mainly done 1st person narratives so far, so would like to do more 3rd person, letters, diaries, and of course different ways for people to get off. Preferably laughing.
 
I'll go.

I'm backing off from numerical goals, such as minimum number of stories to publish, because I find the more such goals I set the less likely I am to meet them.

My goals are more qualitative:

1. Continue to get better as a writer, in every way.

2. Continue to explore new and interesting erotic story ideas.

3. Get at least some of my unfinished stories done within the next year.
I echo this sentiment. Depends how you look at it, I have stories that weren't quite ready to meet various deadlines for various reason, but being almost complete, I'd like to consider I'm now ahead of the curve for some comps & challenges for 2025;)
 
My goal, the only goal, for '25 is to release a new Geek Pride Days story. Didn't manage to get the '24 entry across the finish line (or anything else really) so I have half of my work basically done already. I hope - fingers crossed - that maybe, maybe my therapy is taking and I'll be able to be less moody and more creative. So, first goal is "finish Geek Pride Day story", everything else is a nice bonus. Maybe getting my teeth into "Inns & Invocations" 2 & 3. They are basically done save for one or two scenes which I didn't manage to get done for entirely asinine reasons, like being my own worst critic and such.
 
To finish something and publish it. I have a couple of different things in mind, but work is very absorbing at the moment. Hand-in-hand with that is a mini-renovation that has proved to be less 'mini' than originally envisaged. Together, they are the thieves of time. The other goal is to actually enjoy writing the piece that I intend to write rather than pull my hair out and beat myself up in an attempt to force myself to get to 'the end'. If I don't make it this year, then so be it.
 
We're nearing the end of 2024, so I suppose it's time to ask: Do you have goals for 2025 here at Literotica (I'm limiting it to Literotica--not writing or creative goals you have elsewhere), and what are they?

Do you consider yourself to fit one of the following types:

1. I don't have goals, I just write.

2. I want to get better as a writer.

3. I want to reach certain metrics, such as stories published, favorites or followers achieved, contests won, etc.

4. I just want to get my rocks off.

5. I want to get other people's rocks off.

6. I just hope my partner doesn't find out.

Or do you have goals that don't fit any of these descriptions?
1, 2, 5 &:

I'm disabled, and travel is a rare treat. Writing frees me. I can finally travel again. I can go to places I love via my keyboard and share my experiences.
 
I want to continue publishing stories the readers like, and I’m hoping to branch out and realize my new Cosmere-inspired idea for my little fantasy town. Ideally, I’d like to get 10+ new stories out and start building my network of overlapping and intertwining stories across many categories, but only if I can make my new idea work past the concept stage.
