1. To be a writer for a living. I’d like to leave my job and be able to be paid to do what I love, instead of what I have to do. 2. Have my mortgage paid off. Gee, I wouldn’t have to be that great of a writer if I didn’t have to pay my mortgage. 3. To have enough free time to spend with my son. He and I are both so busy with, well, life that we don’t have enough time to enjoy each other. As John Lennon said, “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.” 3X Thursday
