My 2008 Bucket List
Liz Strauss who is the brains and blogger at Successful (and outstanding) Blog(gers) posted her 2008 Bucket List.
Do you know what a bucket list is? I didn’t, or at least not by that term… it’s the old “what do you absolutely have to do before you die” list. Liz, prompted by Jeff Pulver, created a bucket list for the new year. Then she challenged some of us on her blog to do the same.
Well, the first, get noticed by Liz, happened already! Thanks Liz! Here are some more:
- Finish my Writing With Vision Book
- Complete and deliver at least twice the class, Writing With Vision, maybe even three times.
- Get clear on a book helping writers make enough money, or a class, or an ebook, or a video… see what I mean?
- Travel with my daughter (thanks again Liz)
- Move to larger quarters
That’s a good start… and doable… and I reserve the right to revise this list any time.
Now, I’d like to see a 2008 Bucket List from Mark Silver, Thom Hartman, Kelly Phillips, Eric Eggertson. Hmmmm. There are more, but I’m out of time at the moment.
And, I’d like you’re bucket list too!
Write well and often,

An edgier synonym of Bucket List is “Reaper List.”
http://www.reaperlist.com lets you build your Reaper List with custom activities and descriptions, and if you’ve accomplished something particularly notable you can mark it as a complete activity and upload a story describing the experience.

Anyone know why Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson wanted Black Walnut Ice Cream?
I love black walnut ice cream, but never thought about in China.

I always assumed it was just because they liked it.
