I Wish I May, I Wish I Might #MFRWauthor #BlogHop




Hi, everyone!

This is now Week 48 of the MFRW Author Blog 52-Week Blog Challenge, and today's topic is:
5 Things on my Bucket List

 Starting with honesty (as usual), I don't particularly possess a Bucket List and I don't really care for the term Bucket List.

It sounds ugly.

I get what it means, though, but think it is a stupid choice of words is all.

Now I need to keep thinking about what to say in 5 different ways to be able to participate.

Outlandish


5. Winning the Lottery
4. Traveling the Globe
3. Owning my Own Island
2. Being a Best-Seller
1. Staying Healthy until at least 70 (so I can keep writing)

Realistic


5. Being in Alaska on December 21 to see a 24 hour night and again in June for the 24 hour day
4. Publishing a Novel that a lot of People really enjoy Reading
3. Building my Dream Writing Space
2. Swimming in Lake Ontario (the only Great Lake I have yet to set foot in)
1. Spending New Years Eve in NYC


Hope this wasn't too boring a post this week!

It's a late one, too, so apologies for that as well.

Thanks, though, for stopping by to read and please scroll down to the LinkyLink tool and click on the next in line to discover what their 5 Bucket List Items are.

    I could go along with all your realistic goals except swimming in the lake. I'm such a wimp when it comes to cold water bodies, LOL! Good list, Raine!

      Thank you, Alina! The only 'cold' body of water I've been in (dipped my toes) was Superior. Appreciate your reading my post!

    Short and sweet. I agree with you on the name (and idea) of the bucket list. I enjoyed both your lists.

    I've been in Lake Ontario, as well as Lake Michigan, the only two Great Lakes I've been in.

      Hi, Ed. I've been 'to' Lk Ontario twice, but in Toronto, and the beach was so crowded, I couldn't get to the water! Could not find any public access, either :( Thanks for reading my post!

    Interesting list. Having lived in the northeast (actually across from lower Manhattan) I never had the urge to go to Times Square on New Years Eve. I always figured with my luck the closest I'd get to the ball drop or to the performance stage would be blocks and blocks. I prefer food and drink at home rather than none while in a cattle shute. Although I'm sure the energy is amazing.

      Hi Helen, thanks for reading my post! What I would actually do if I ever found myself in NYC on New Year's Eve would be to have a Hotel Window view of the street and stand there with a glass of bubbly in hand :D

    I like both lists, Raine! I forgot about New Year's in Times Square and your Alaska dream is very cool. I hope you get to do them all!

    Love your list- and I'd love my own island!

    Your post wasn't boring at all. Everything on both lists sounds good to me. One summer I stepped into a shallow part of Lake Superior near Paradise where the water was warm (with bloodsuckers). It got cold real fast as the water got deeper. Brr.

The Thought Bubble Never Pops #MFRWauthor

Hello, again. Sorry about missing last week's challenge (Favorite Novel Quotes) AND not being able to read or comment on the posts from the week before! I don't know what happened, but not only couldn't I open the MFRW Author Blog page to find the links, the links refused to appear on my blog, so I had no way of joining the hop and was very upset. Last week's challenge was not something I would have been able to participate in since I'm not one to quote anything... because I can't remember what "I" said ten minutes ago, much less what I read ten years or months or hours ago. MY total recall is along the photographic line; not the literary. My son can watch a movie ONCE and then verbatim quote it for years after, leaving his mother in awe of such a skillful talent! And here's me, trying to remember the movie title and who starred. What I recall most from both books and movies that I truly enjoyed is the setting that evolved in my

Over There! #MFRWauthor Blog Challenge Week 17

Hello, and welcome to another installment of the MFRWauthor 52-Week Blog Challenge. This week's question is: The Top Five Places I'd Like to Visit I've included a Linky at the end of this post so you can visit everyone's submission to this week's Hop. I know it sounds ridiculous to say I Love to Travel because, let's be honest, who doesn't? A more accurate or realistic remark might sound more like this: Who Can AFFORD to Travel? Right? Not me! But, dreams are free and here is mine. #5 Crete Home to the Ideon Cave, which was the birthplace of Zeus. But also for the food, the atmosphere, and especially the photo ops standing near all of the white buildings with blue awnings/rooftops/shutters... and with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. I learned in one of my Linguistics classes that there is an island off the coast of Greece where the language is so obscure that even Greeks have trouble understanding it. Fascinating stuff, s

Ideally, He's What I Want - #MFRWauthor 52-Week Blog Challenge

However illusory the ideal may be, it is the one that, more than any other, drives the psyche of the Romantic poet forward. Wordsworth's Ideal Man Welcome back, friends, to Week 19 of the MFRW Author 52-Week Blog Challenge. This week, we're asked to describe The Ideal Romance Hero . I write AND read romance, but that doesn't mean I feel confident or sure about my response, and I needed to give this one some serious thought prior to setting fingers to keyboard. Alpha or Otherwise, Dark or Fair, Young or Old, Rich or Not, a Hero in any Romance novel needs to be a few things, and for me that mainly consists of MY idea of the Perfect Man. But, not entirely. Alpha's can be thrilling in a novel but downright boorish in real life. Next! I've always tended toward dark-haired men but have been known to freak out when spotting someone with blond hair, so... Sad though this might sound (and be in reality), I'd rather my man made good money than none
