I just had a kick ass idea! Okay here's the plan... I'm trying to save to go to Japan and teach but it is really hard to do but now I have a back up plan! Or at least an additional hope. I was looking up writing contest online and there are tons lurking about with plenty of decent prizes too. I think that I will put my talent to use and enter a bunch of these contest and if I am lucky, not only will I get some prize money that I can put towards Japan, but I will likely get some stuff published. Having previously published works helps with getting publishing companies to notice you so the effort will also help me with future projects that I already had set as goals. I'm very excited about this idea... Okay, okay... I suppose I could have thought of this ages ago but regardless of why my brain took so long to get around to this idea, I harbor high hopes. And hey, at the very least the trying will be fun.

Whilst I am in dreaming mode.... I have thought up a list of things that I would like to achieve! Houray list time! Hehehe... I like lists... Okay, here goes..

Things still to do...

1.Travel!!! Okay, I should really just make this a Category because so many of my goals are tied to this..

A>Obviously go to Japan... While there I intend to hike up Mount Fugi and watch the sunrise.

B>Germany... I want to go to a rave in Germany and ride on the back of some hot guys' motercyle on the Autobon.

C>China... I want to stand and look off of the Great Wall of China.

D>Tibet... I have no idea what part of Tibet is even availiable for travelers to explore but I would like to see what a Tibeten monestary looks like.

E>England... I want walk in the rain in London and hang out in a pub in some small town. Maybe find some sexy Brit to whisk me off my feet. Gotta love a Brittish accent. :) I also want to check out some of the castles-- feel how cold the stone is... you get the idea..
Also, it would be no bad thing if the opportunity arose to attend a play or something that Anthony Stewart Head may be in the middle of doing... Yeah, yeah... I know... but a girl can dream... Also I would like to go on a little pilgramage to Stonehenge and check that out for myself.. not with a tour group though because I think that would ruin it.

F>France... Eat!! For the love of god if your going to go to France you've got to gorge! Mmmmm... In addition to the eating, or possibly during the eating process.. :) I will have to go see the museums and walk through small town markets and go to cafes where I will get to practice my French.

---In each place I hope to talk to people and get to know eachother briefly so that I have the opportunity to see the world through the eyes of others from all around it. I also hope that I will get to have spontanious adventures that I can't possibly plan on.

2.Writing

While in Japan I intend to use some of my free time to write an actual novel and not just short stories. I want to have it completed within the year that I will be there so that I may be ready to send it to publishing companies when I come back.

I intend to continue to persue this as an interest, regardless of the outcome from my first novel effort, for the duration of my life. It is too much fun to forget about.

Obviously I would like to get published and be able to make a good enough living at writing to enable me to support myself anywhere in the world that I would like to live.

I think that for now I will leave this list as it is cause I'm getting sleepy. So there... now at least there is a little bit more that the whole lot of nothing I had posted before.
