It's my last year in my 20s!
And I am not freaking out. I promise. Well, I mostly promise. I can't promise how I'll feel next August.
I'm celebrating my last year in my 20s by making a list. A list of 30 things to do before I turn 30. 30 reasonable, achievable goals to reach before I reach 30.
This is not because I think life ends at 30. I just think it's a milestone and I'd like to celebrate it properly. (I can imagine myself doing 40 things for 40 and 50 things for 50, etc). Plus, it's a great excuse to kick my butt into gear and accomplish some of these goals I've been putting off.
But to accomplish a list, first I need a list. This is what I've come up with so far.
1. Win NaNoWrimMo (or one of the other Wrimos)
2. Get a full request (which means I'd have to start actually querying)
3. Run a half marathon (already signed up)
4....????
Clearly, I need a lot more ideas. Got one for me? Leave it in the comments!

Yay for lists! The YA contemp I'm subbing atm started with my '10 things to do before I graduate' list that me and my friend completed in our last month of yr 13 (senior year).
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could have:
~ write WAY out of your comfort zone/genre
~ enter a writing competition
~ Join a club or group doing something you've never tried before
I can't think of many, but I'm sure you'll get some great suggestions!
