So! I'm making Bloggery New Years Resolutions.
Or goals. Or whatever ya wanna call them.
"Shit I'm gonna get done in 2015" works too. *nods*
I do better when I'm held accountable and have a list to work off of so figured I'd make this public and have a place to update as I go.
- Jan--most done. Missed 2 (though 1 was a consideration)
- Feb-- missed 1 and a couple that were review consideration
- Mar-- I think I got all but one
- April-- Got all but one--which was a gift not a request
- May--
- June--
- July--
- Aug--
- Sept--
- Oct--
- Nov--
- Dec--

2. Make my way through old review requests and get caught up.
*shame face* It's a rather daunting pile. I took on a lot more than I should have early on and still some months one will slip by me and it's so hard to get back to those. But one book at a time. Hopefully I can clear them all out by end of year or by early 2016.

- I need to actually sit down and figure out this list
- 4/21--got my list. Holy. Shit. I can't believe I've missed so many over the last 4 years. Though a good chunk were ones sent for review consideration so I don't feel quite as bad not getting to all of those yet. But I will try.

3. Get my Netgalley ratio above 95%. Currently at 82%. I'd gotten to 90 but then took on a bunch of Feb/March books so down I plummeted.

18. Be a better blogger friend--more commenting, more social media, etc

19. Clear out emails, FB personal messages, FB blog messages. And keep on top of them. I'm horribly behind.
- 5/7-- Email is DONE!

20. Be better about sending out prizes in a timely manner. I have no excuse. I lose track of time. That's pretty much it. I get fixated on projects at home/on the blog and don't realize a couple weeks have gone by and I've not made it to the post. I suck. I know. Probably my biggest blogger shortcoming. No. Definitely my biggest blogger shortcoming.

Okay. That might be it for now. I'll probably add more in as I think of them but for now...20 things I want to work on as a blogger. Hopefully I'll knock them all out. Maybe not. That's okay too. But I'm gonna try at least :) Do you have any 2015 blogger goals? Or personal ones?
