An important exercise that I have engaged in since I was in college was to sit for a few minutes with a cup of coffee and my journal, and make a 5 Year Plan. I have specifically prayed about where exactly I hope to be in 10 years. At that time, in 2030, I will have two children in college, 5 kids at home, three will be teenagers and two will be pre-teens. My mind is sorta blown when I think about that, but also, I have a lot of good hopes and good plans for my future.
There is no question in my mind that my calling in life is to be a writer. It is my passion. When I go to a bookstore and grab a cup of coffee, browsing and getting ideas and a pulse of the zeitgeist is possibly my favorite activity. I come alive, time moves swiftly, and I have a million ideas of what I want to read and write next.
My hope is to get a regular writing gig, hopefully with an online Catholic publication, write a nonfiction book and get it published, write a book of poetry, write a children’s book and get it illustrated and published, and give an interview. My “reach” goal is to win an award for something that I write. I also hope to continue reading between 60-70 books a year as I have in the past.
