I’ll be turning 29 this week, but aside from planning a huge Logan’s Run themed party (due to take place a year from now), I haven’t given much thought to what I’ll do with my last green year. So, here goes my abbreviated goodbye-to-my-roaring-twenties “bucket list.”
1. recline in a random field of authentic wildflowers
2. swim in another ocean
3. network with more writers, getting to know them and their work
4. read a ton of excellent books–can’t stop adding to my Goodreads list!
5. maybe–hopefully–get on the road to publication with my last book (in which I play with time)
6. write the fun, cynical, existential, paranormal romance I just started (in which I play with space)
7. write a ton of awesome curriculum
8. make life-long readers and writers out of some young minds
9. get out of the country and see something amazing
10. stop…and look around
What do you think? Anything I should add?
By the way, if you’ve never seen the 70s cult classic Logan’s Run, look it up. It’s one of those movies that, at times, is so bad it’s good, but it’s concept is one that always stuck with me. In the simplest terms, Logan is a ” sandman” who lives in a post-apocalyptic, dome city. His job it is to kill people over the age thirty who don’t willingly self-destruct at “carousel.” See it!

(“Happy Birthday…”)
Oh! Gosh, thank you! 🙂
Have no fear! Thirty-something was my best year.
Definitely no fear. I have a feeling it will be awesome! 🙂
Good list, go with it! And have an excellent birthday too. 🙂
Thank you! Some of it is seasonal, but everything is definite. 🙂
May you have happiest of the days
Find new ways, cross continents
Feel content, or not, and go crazy
Then repent, travel Maldives to Seychelles
Michelle 🙂 Happy Birthday to you 🙂
Verse is the best birthday gift. Thank you! 🙂
You are most welcome 🙂
This is a great list – especially the make future readers/writers part. I was inspired to take writing seriously as a profession for myself by my English teacher, you know. 😉
& May you have a very Happy Birthday. 😀
Thank you! I’m glad you had such an excellent teacher! 🙂
Some great things on the list! Happy Birthday, enjoy your day 😀
Thank you, and thanks for commenting! 🙂
Happy Birthday 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
11. Get a miniature pig, dress him up in a three-piece suit, and teach him to twerk to Gangnam Style?
Wait…what were we talking about again?!
Happy birthday!
Lol. 🙂
enjoy this great year ahead!
Thank you–I’m burning the candle at both ends, but I’ll definitely take time to cut loose. 🙂
Logan’s Run birthday! Love it, that’s my favorite movie from my childhood…
That’s Logan in your picture, too–right? Totally awesome movie! I wonder if we’ll ever get a decent remake.
It’s been “in development” for decades. Most recently, Ryan Gosling was going to take the role but he walked away because they can’t get a script together. Last I heard someone else was going to try to write a script, the lead guy who created the Bioshock game series. Joel Silver of the Matrix franchise still has the production rights, I think. More info than you probably wanted, right? I do try to keep up!
I hope they get it together. I can’t believe they lost Ryan Gosling! Urgh!
