What do you want to achieve this year as a writer and how's it going?

I'm writing a drabble a day and posting them online. I'm editing a short story and want to send it off to some magazines. And I'm reading way more than usual!

I want to make appreciable progress in spite of the sometimes overwhelming feeling of imposter syndrome. Some days I'm happy with what I'm putting down but other days I'm Donnie hearing Walter telling me how out of my element I am and it's a fight to keep from deleting what I've eked out. Those days, a series of notes for what to write on a better day looks like success; I want to believe others got through that struggle and that I will too.

On the bright side, I've been making my way through the latest round of research papers and technical documents I'm using as references.
