Earn a living wage.

Never?

Nope.
Bugs the hell outa me when people making two or three times what I'm making are described as poor...

It was a big shock when Kristi told me that waitresses etc in the US were working solely for tips. Companies over here at the moment are being forced to increase wages as people just aren't accepting low paying jobs.

Why not?
Because I've never had an employer who thought I was worth more than half.

Have just one of my novels become a runaway financial success.

I want this for you too. Your books are certainly good enough to appeal to the wider public, and you've taken things as far as you can yourself, you just need better representation, like an agent to open bigger venues through larger publishers. The fact you've sold as many books as you have and have as many published titles as you do would work in your favor. When my father began his second career he worked with artists' reps, and the difference in the success rate of artists with agents versus those without was striking.

It isn't easy to get an agent unless you already have a giant audience. I looked into getting an agent and found they were only interested in people with 10,000 social media followers minimum, double the number I have.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

ER

Go through one month without insomnia.

See the man in the moon.

Have a day in which I have no thoughts about the concept of death.

Beat my father at chess.

Enjoy eating like most people do.

Stop thinking so hard about how something can exist and yet have no mass.

Walk the Hadrian's Wall Trail.

Finish the river rock henge I'm building with my son.

See a wild bobcat.

Find appreciation in the now.

Get to know my lost brothers in an afterlife.

Forget things I want to forget.

Genuinely laugh at a knock-knock joke.




What does not kill me makes me stranger.

I've been trying to land a trick called a varial heelflip for like 4 years. its not my usual kind of skating but I'm obsessed with it


looks simple but...


Takes some practice. It looks relatively simple but you gotta get the right bit of height in the jump and land the flips accordingly.

Skydiving.

Take a random weekend trip. Although, that's impossible unless I do it on my 'weekend' being off Tuesdays/Wednesdays.  Like just randomly go to Boston or Chicago for a ball game and come back home.

There was a local movie called Die Eensame Vlug [The Lonely Flight] which put me off skydiving for life  :buggedout: :buggedout:

I'd like to take in a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley or a Sox game at Fenway.
