Bookish Bucket List

I had a lot of trouble with this prompt. I have never been much of a bucket list kind of person. I mean I always wanted to go on a cruise and see clear blue water. (Did that one.) And one day I want to go to Germany and possibly Japan, but it’s more that I want to be active. I don’t want to just allow myself to stagnate.

When it comes to my writing I don’t have a bucket list. Sure I’d love to get a book published, I’d love to have fans, and I’d like to make money, but I don’t really see those as items on a bucket list because I have no control over any of them.

The only thing I have control over in my writing career is whether or not I write and whether or not I do my best to improve my craft. And yet those are not really things to go on a bucket list, those are just ever present goals. I may be nit picking the definition of ‘bucket list’ a little bit here, but that’s really how I feel.
