Upcoming projects

Autumn always seems to be a transitionary season in my life as well as in the weather, and this year is proving to be no exception.  For instance, in the next few weeks, I am:

• Getting a new tattoo!  I'm super thrilled about the artist I've booked with, too; she does some gorgeous work and (judging by her instagram) is a motorcycle-riding hardcore feminist.  I think we're going to get on great.  Perhaps most tellingly, after looking through her art I have an idea for a third piece...but let's see how we get on in person first, haha.
• Writing a fic for a holiday exchange.  I'm a little apprehensive about this, as I am the Queen of Unfinished Projects (woo for that toxic combination of ambition and perfectionism!), but this is the kind of situation where I tend to have the most success at actually finishing things—when I have a person with a particular set of preferences that I'm writing for, and a hard deadline to hit.  Both of those help keep me focused and away from the "oh but this would be so much better if..." tendencies that tend to strand me out in the weeds.
• Starting my first bout of yoga teacher training as a coach-in-training.  I'm excited about this, but also apprehensive—I want to make this experience memorable and inspirational, but at the same time, I've only been teaching about a year and a half.  Still, that's how you get better—do something for a while, then start teaching others to do it.  I'm hopeful about the experience; I'm lucky enough to be working with a really strong and supportive team, and it's good to feel like it isn't all on me to make it work.  Collaboration!

What about you, fellow Dreamwidth folks?  What new undertakings are you engaged upon?  How are you feeling about them?
