I think every writer
should have a bucket list. I call it a
bucket list instead of a goal list because for some reason goal list tend to
get forgotten and get filed away in the all start that tomorrow. But a bucket list has a since of urgency to
it and we tend to put more importance on the list when our mortality is
attached to it. A writer’s bucket list
does two things in my opinion it keeps us focused on what we want to write as
well as reminds us why we write. So
practicing what I preach here goes my list:
Finish and publish my novella series (These three works are my pride and
joy)
Write video game dialogue (I am a huge gamer)
Co-Author a novel (I think it would not only be an adventure)
Write and have animated my own R- rated cartoon series.
Write children’s book that entertain, teach, and don’t always have the
happily-ever after
Write fictional works that challenge the conventional ideals of right and wrong. Good and bad.
Get paid ( yes I said it and you shouldn't be afraid to put it on the list)
Have fun ( I never want my writing to become a chore.)
I like the bucket list! I am going to put some serious thought into my list because it tends to be so long that it overwhelms me. Then I look at the list and think that there is no way I will ever do everything on it, and I wind up discouraged.
ReplyDeleteSo the short list is:
Revision the mess of a manuscript that is sitting on my desk for over a year. (this is a perfect example because now i am thinking about all the things i can list that need to be done just to complete this item); finish writing my non-fiction book about Aspergers Syndrome; continue to write short stories and non-fiction articles for children; AND spend less time on classes and more time DOING!
