## Challenge Plan

> **Plan**
>
> My plan for this challenge is to focus on reading, not specifically reading in Japanese. Meaning even if I read books/stories in English or Swedish, I will count it and update (if I want to). And that is partly because the two main things I’m reading in Japanese right now can feel a lot like deciphering or I’m reading material I’ve seen a hundred times (anime). Both of which takes away from the enjoyment of getting lost in the story.
> 
> Also, I’ve spent the past six months (aka the previous two challenges) trying to get both Japanese reading and general fiction reading (99% in English) going together and mostly failing at both. While there are only small pockets of Japanese reading that feels like regular reading (aka no to only a few lookups per book/volume), I want to start treating it as regular reading. Eventually it will be. If starting now helps me get a regular reading habit, then I’m going for it.
> 
> Maybe it doesn’t work, but I’ll try.
> 
> For my yearly goals, I’m 1 manga volume behind, which is basically nothing. For my VN and book (in Japanese) goals, I feel like I’m one book or VN behind, since I’m reading two of each. That will be a bigger hurdle to clear for sure. For my regular (mostly English) reading of 1 book per week, I’m 10 books behind. But I will be counting any books I read in Japanese for it, and will also count the grammar dictionary (if I finish it from front to back), because I’ve always included non-fiction. I’m also not worried about the English reading, considering I finished most of my currently finished 16 books in a 3 week span. So if I get into another binge, I can catch up easily.
