At some point, a friend told me to write a list. Some time after that I began a list. Now I don't remember who that friend was or why I was in need of advice that elicited this list suggestion. Now a days I make lists on anything that I can use a pen or pencil on. Gone are the days when I had one singular journal that housed all of my thoughts, (I have a stack of 9 or 10 from those days on shelf), now I have small notebooks, stacks of loose papers of all colors and sizes, and accompanying doodles that would probably fill a thick sketch pad at this point.
But back to making a list. Here's what's on my list:
-Work on one of the many novels I've started
-Collaborate with my sister to create a Graphic Novel
-Start a business with my sisters.
-Write and produce my own music
-Finish those portraits of my roommates from four years ago
-Read books again, because somehow I don't anymore??
-Open up my Etsy business
-Write/Collaborate a comic that features an autobiographical superhero
-DM a campaign!
-Write and publish an RPG on Kickstarter
-Live much closer to all of my family
-Finish and send out my full length Play
-Write One acts and receive royalties on them
It's a lot and I've made peace with the fact that there are several careers packed into that list. I've also made a deal with myself that I will be okay as long as I am always trying for at least two of these items at any given time.
What's on your list?
