#IGAuthorLifeJan Day 2 – Goals

So, today for the #IGAuthorLifeJan the theme is “Goals.”

This is also known as “Lies formerly known as goals before life got in the way,” but hey . . . wadda I know, right?

So, if I could shoot for the moon, then my goals would be to wrap Last Light up in March and have Paint the Ponies done by the end of the summer and headed out to agents in query hell.

I’d also like to offer up an epic author visit to the kids of Hall High School of West Hartford CT in April and hopefully knock it out of the park for Derry Author Fest (in NH, also in April).

I’d like to take my hubby, son, daughter, and her boytoy (boyfriend) to Fenway to see the Red Sox play, and I’d like to scream my way through a rock concert this summer. I want to see college friends I haven’t seen in a while and have a legendary 4th of July in my new beachside neighborhood.

And I want to give back, endlessly, wherever I’m needed.

I want to leave people with stories and memories that make them smile, even on the darkest days.

I want to do whatever is needed to help my country to heal.

I want to boost my friends, my family, and those I may never hear from again.

And lastly, I don’t want to have to bail anyone out of jail for stupid schemes that went awry (if they were epic in intent though, I may be able to bail ya out as monetary praise for sheer ambition).

And lastly, refuse to act like an adult whenever possible.
