Day 6 {dreams}

First, let me draw your attention to my side button that says 'about me'. I have finally figured out a way to post my picture on it so now you know what I look like.

Second, all of the posts are amazing and I'm have had so much fun reading them. Yesterday we hit the third way mark on our challenge.

*leaps with joy*

Day 6 - Something on your bucket list that has to do with writing.


My writing bucket list dream is to:

-Have one of my picture books published.

Other than novels and poetry I love picture books. Stories, plot lines, and characters displayed in a sweet, short, and creative manner. And as I've been thinking about my direction as an author I've decided I really want to write picture books.

I first discovered this dream after my mom brought home some picture books from the library that we remembered reading when we were younger. Books that I still smiled and laughed at, I love them. I wanted to writing something kids would be reading when they are first learning how to. And I wanted them to read it again, in later year, smiling at the memories that the book holds.

So what about you? What is your dream?

My writing dreams

If any of you know me in person you know I love lists. Lists of any kind: shopping list, big lists, small list, bucket lists, etc.

Cause I'm short on something to write about, and being inspired by Cassie's post, I thought I'd share a part of my writing bucket list with you today.


My Writing Bucket List

~ Figure out the ending to one of Agatha Christies novels on my own

~ To complete NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)

~ Have one of my picture books published

~ To write a book while traveling Europe. Think of the inspiration!

~ Discus books with some of my favorite authors

~ Read Charles Dickens unfinished mystery, 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood

~ Visit a bookstore in Paris

I, of course, have many more things I'd love to do. And a lot of them have to do with both writing and traveling at the same time, I guess it's my love for both. ☺

What are some of the things on your bucket list?
