The DMS wants to know:
What is a dream that you hope to achieve?
We told you ours. Now, let's hear yours!
Weell, I have already replied to this :D But I do have more life goals. I want a house. For myself, alone :) But yeah, I also want a boyfriend. But I would be happy with a house first ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my WoW. <3
Love, Carina @ Carina's Books
Wonderful goals, Carina! Wishing you much success! ~L
DeleteMy life goals are to live so there are no regrets in the end and to have some fun everyday. The rest will take care of itself. Sounds simplistic, I know, but it really isn't.
ReplyDeleteAlex- Nicely said! ~L
DeleteLove Martin's Big words!! :)
ReplyDeleteWriting goals? Short term - learn to outline!!! Long term - get on with self pubbing this year.
Jemi- Good luck with the outlining and self pubbing! :) ~L
DeleteThere are so many! Become a counselor that actually helps kids. Be a great future mother and wife. Fall in love <3
ReplyDeleteRead as many books I can. Know myself and be the best version of me I can be.
Adriana- You have many wonderful dreams! I think you will be an excellent counselor! :) ~L
DeleteBehind my gateway is a million more stories, both written and read. :-)
ReplyDeleteEJ- Happy reading and writing. :) ~L
DeleteExcellent y'all. Mine are pretty simple. For my son who was born with a rare brain disorder to always be safe. To be an awesome wife and Mom. And for me to get my picture books and MG novel pubbed. On with it! *waving*
ReplyDeleteRobyn- I hope that your sun will always be safe. Best of luck getting your picture books and MG novel pubbed! ~L
DeleteAs a great grandma, my dreams are mostly to see my grands grow up and be happy. Also, I hope to see all of my stories published while I can still see them :)
ReplyDeleteBeverly- What sweet and wonderful dreams! I hope your stories are published soon! ~L
DeleteI just want to live my life in a peaceful way...and I want every day to be satisfying.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Patty! Great words to live by. :) ~L
DeleteMy dream is to be an author! :D
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Erik! I know with all the reading and writing you do that you are on your way! ~L
DeleteGood health for myself, family, and friends.
ReplyDeleteCiara- Health is so important! ~L
DeleteI’m still catching up with your posts and wanted to say that Walking to the Bus-Rider Blues sounds like something I really want to read.
ReplyDeleteMy dream is to live long enough to see my new little granddaughters grow up and to be able to spend more time with them. The second part is harder as they live in Australia, and I’m in the UK – but never say never!
Barbara- Walking to the Bus-Rider Blues is a wonderful story. I hope you enjoy it! I love your dream and I know that you will find ways to spend time with your granddaughters (even through Skype or other means). :) ~L
DeleteOh- and I loved the pictures you shared from your holiday with them. :) ~L
DeleteHmmm. My big goal at the moment is to change careers. I've run my current business for going on 9 years and am ready to try something new. I'd really love to own a used bookstore next :) I already started working in one part time to see if I actually liked it and it's been amazing so far :)
ReplyDeleteHope yall are having a great week!
Anna
Anna- Working in a used bookstore sounds so fun. Awesome that you are working in one to test it out. Good luck with your dreams! ~L
DeleteI dream we'll all spread the message of love by living that way - unconditional love. Have you noticed feelings of love are light as air, where feelings of hate really bring us down? I'm hoping to spread love through my books.
ReplyDeleteDonna- You described the way love and hate feel perfectly. I think you are spreading love through your books. :) ~Stephanie
