16 Nov 2007 Writing Dreams
 |  Category: Writing  | Tags: , , ,

Here’s a small exercise. Write down your top 3 writing dreams. Mine are:

1. Write for my Big 5 (The New Yorker, National Geographic, TIME, The New York Times Magazine, Newsweek).
2. Have a book reach the top of the New York Times best-seller list.
3. Win the Booker prize. I’d prefer the Pulitzer actually, but I’m not eligible.

High goals, I know. But I figure I’ll live to be around 70, and I’m almost 26, so I have about 44 years to get all this done.

What are your life goals? Write them down, and paste them where you can see them every day.
