A proposal

I would like to offer you all a proposal. I've written here for a while and you've seen that I do some writing projects and hopefully you are farmiliar with my Master List of other projects.

What I'd like to propose is that anybody who reads thins post think good and hard on what you'd like to do or be over the next year, and make a list of the things that will get you to that point. I want others to participate in the adventure of doing this type of thing with me.

I'd encourage you all to join either Nanowrimo.org and find the Big fun scary challenge, or go on over to 43things.com

But if that is just one more site to join or one more location you won't participate in then do it with me. No joining nessecary. Make your list and see what you can make of yourself and your life. Post replies to my blog if you can, or email. me at rovingjack@gmail.com

I want you to be able to set realistic goals (don't do the same things that so many try, loose weight and clean more... they are hard to do because they are not actually goals. Loose 15 pounds or spend an hour cleaning on saturdays work better) and set a pace for how you can change your life in one year.

An example is how I now face the last 21 mazes that I will draw by hand. It is something I have done for nearly a year, every night. I will in some ways be glad at not having to find a time to fit one in when I'm busy. But I will likely forget and make more after the year is up. I'm so used to it. I've got nearly 345 mazes already and a book of hand drawn mazes up for purchase on a website. There are enough now to make two more books.

Think about that, something that I spend maybe 15-20 mins on each night and am so use to that it's part of my bedtime ritual. They can be made into (and will be) three books that I can sell online.

I've gotten some cards for adoptees up and sort of going in my web store at cafepress. I've written scripts and novels, I've done a charity event, and built a web page, learned some HTML coding, learned something about sumerian cuniform and improved my math. There is even more that that. So much that I can hardly remember it all. and that was all done in the last year.

So join me and ask yourself: What can we do with the moments of our lives that will awe us in a years time?

I've got some cramming to do over the next several Days so I'm skipping Blog posts until Monday night.
Until then take care of yourselves,
Roving Jack.
