To prove how serious I am, I'm going to post my newly revised list of goals. Putting them out there in the world gives them a bit more power and will give me more conviction to see them through.
1) Either see the curvature of the Earth from as close to space as I can get, if not actually make it into space.
2) Become a published author more than just once (and can't include exclusively self publishing).
3) Travel the world and take my time to really take in the sights and culture and history.
4) Get a job that either requires a lot of travel OR a decent paying job that lets me work long stretches of time at home/any location with Internet access and a cell phone.
5) Buy and manage a fairly large collection of houses and rental properties.
6) Learn French.
7) Become moderately successful in a different field than literature (i.e., comics, fine art, public speaking, film scripts, song writing, stage production, etc).
8) Meet new people and make lots of connections for life.
And 9) Make a difference in the world.
Ta-da! Those are the things that I'm going to be working on from here on out! Sounds exciting doesn't it? Hopefully I'll stay on top of this blog too now that I have a reason to keep working on it.
I really hope to get a job either in copywriting or in graphic design (things that will keep me creative and help me to keep working on art and writing while I'm at home). I'm going to start really researching those fields and really tailor my résumé to fit those types of jobs.
I'm super excited about all of this and I hope that if others start reading this blog that they will be as excited for me as I am.
By the way, just putting this out there. Thank you curly headed waiter boy at Cafe Brazil last night/this morning. You kept me watered and fed for seven hours straight while I worked on getting this plan down on paper and you even blew me a kiss when I left. Hopefully we'll have some other nights like that and I will get just as much writing done as I did last night (I wrote in the ball park of 30 pages of solid content. That's like a whole short story or the major introduction to a novel right there. I would love to do that again.) and together we can get me to a great place in life.
Alright. I'm going to keep this post short and sweet.
I'm going to get off my ass and get things accomplished. I've got a few projects to tackle today and I need to get on to them.
