My 2008 Bucket List [The Golden Pencil: The Freelance Writer's Resource]

Translate Into:

webLiz Strauss who is the brains and blogger at Successful (and outstanding) Blog(gers) posted her 2008 Bucket List.

Do you know what a bucket list is? I didn’t, or at least not by that term… it’s the old “what do you absolutely have to do before you die” list. Liz, prompted by Jeff Pulver, created a bucket list for the new year. Then she challenged some of us on her blog to do the same.

Well, the first, get noticed by Liz, happened already! Thanks Liz! Here are some more:

  • Finish my Writing With Vision Book
  • Complete and deliver at least twice the class, Writing With Vision, maybe even three times.
  • Get clear on a book helping writers make enough money, or a class, or an ebook, or a video… see what I mean?
  • Travel with my daughter (thanks again Liz)
  • Move to larger quarters

That’s a good start… and doable… and I reserve the right to revise this list any time.

Now, I’d like to see a 2008 Bucket List from Mark Silver, Thom Hartman, Kelly Phillips, Eric Eggertson. Hmmmm. There are more, but I’m out of time at the moment.

And, I’d like you’re bucket list too!

Write well and often,

Writing With Vision - for those who want to get a book written.
