As 2013 approaches, I find myself reflecting over the last year. It's been twelve months of ups and downs. I've had moments of sheer joy, and moments where I've felt utterly lost. I've accomplished a lot this year, and set my life on a path that I am not only pleased with...but excited for. We must live with excitement. We must seek joy.
Lately, I've been stuck. My book is selling relatively well, and I've done plenty of readings at schools. I even had the remarkable opportunity to share my book with the kids at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital. But my creative mind is itching for more stories. So, I sit down and write. Or rather...try to write. I believe that I am the most indecisive writer to have ever dared to call herself an author. I find myself jumping between different stories, and different plots, because I can't choose which I'd rather write. I am stuck in the mud.
I've decided that as I continue to squeeze stories out of my brain, I need a second project. Something exciting, and fresh. Something that will get me out in the world, experiencing life the way I've always wanted to. So. In honor of an adventurous new year, I am beginning a blogging project called: "365: The Bucket List Challenge." The idea is to create a massive bucket list (complete with your suggestions) and complete one challenge every day, for 365 days. They won't all be big challenges. Some will be simple, like: "To cook a new recipe." or: "Read an entire book in one day." Some will be crazy, like: "Skydive!" or "Have a silent rave in the middle of Times Square." The goal is to live each day with excitement, and joy. The goal, really, is just to live.
I will be keeping a blog and vlog throughout the whole adventure. I will be taking suggestions for my big ol' bucket list until January 31. The adventure begins on February 1st. I'm looking forward to sharing my adventures with you! Leave suggestions in the comments section, or email me at: bucketlist365@gmail.com
Happy Wednesday, everyone! :)
