Please don’t mind me as I am sure your world will continue to orbit around the sun without reading my “what direction should I take my life in now” post.
Again.
But bear with me my www friends as I can feel my success whispering sweet promises in my ear, can feel accomplishment waiting in my shadows. For the first time in my life I believe in myself, if only I could get focused. Lists are the best way to laser in on the specifics, so a list I will make.
I know one thing for sure. I want to be a writer. I am not sure what defines a writer, or how much success is needed before giving ones self such a title; but I will worry about that later. My first question is in what way do I want to become a writer? Here are a list of things I want to do:
- Have my own column or blog in a national publication. Shit, start smaller. Local publication…baby steps.
- Freelance for publication in popular magazines (Parenting, Women’s Health, etc)
- Write a funny and encouraging “how to” book on breastfeeding from a typical Americans point of view
- Start a children’s book series that I have tried to start for years
- Look for more blogging opportunities
I want to do all of the above but the key is what do I want to put my energy into first. I will spend the next day or so staring blankly at this list until my next project jumps off the screen, slaps me in the face, and makes me it’s bitch.

Those are all great ideas and I will read every single one of them that you write! Be sure to write the breast feeding one before I get myself knocked up!
