ellerThis is Snowflake Challenge #4, "In your own space, create some goals." Sure. I have some personal goals for 2021 (beyond the professional ones, which I'm not going to talk about here)! None of these plans are new, precisely, but it's the first time I compile them like this.
- Raise my online chess rating by at least 150 points. That one is going to be hard because I'm already at a level where the progress of gaining playing strength goes sloooooooowly, but hey, I'm still stuck at home, so it's not as if I'd ever get a better opportunity to do some ambitious training. Also, once tournaments start again, I want to raise my real-life rating... As soon as I get the opportunity.
- Survive Chocolate Box. XD I'm still a bit nervous about that - but haven't deleted my signup. I'm being very brave, ahahahaha! Also, there are at least two prompts I desperately want to write whether I match to the prompters in question or not.
- Find a way to make shadow theater videos that don't look too crappy. (My first attempts were too horrible to show anywhere.)
- Get myself a new Celtic harp so I can play again. Also: play the piano more often. I've neglected my music a bit, but I miss it.
- Do proper High German (and maybe also English) translations of some folk songs that are originally in Platt (Low German) - I know no one cares, but hey, I feel someone should do it.
- Render at least one of my stories from my project-thingy as a coherent comic. If that fails: at least do more proper illustrations.

It seems Trent Razor (sp?) aka NIN has an instrument with an interface 'akin' (fretless) but different sort of synth. Note:I'm not very musically sophisticated, and I sorta stop at Moog.
