Wish list
Do you keep a wish list?
I don’t. The dog might eat it or the cat will knock it off my desk just because it’s there.
As an example:
Nothing but dementia will wrest from my mind the top two items on my wish list.
What’s at the top of my wish list?
No, it’s not humongous amounts of money or fame. Too much of either tends to bite you in the back.
If you’re rich or famous and scratch your nose at just the right angle, some paparazzi will take a picture of it. The image will then inhabit the front of every sleazy magazine on Earth.
<– You end up walking around like this all the time.
Sure, it might be nice to have a few million dollars. That’s enough to live comfortably, but you’re still off their “need to follow” list.
“So then,” you might ask, “What is on the top of your wish list?”
If you’ve read one or more of my books, please leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads.
What’s number two?
A lifetime supply of dark chocolate.
Hey! A writer can dream.
WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF YOUR WISH LIST?
I would like to write an enduring book, Joelle. Something that resonates with readers going forward and that they think about and remember.

That is one of the best “#1 on a wish list.”

I’d like to go back to NZ to see Bro.

When family lives far away, that comes to the top of the wish list. It meant a lot for my family to come and see me for my birthday. NZ almost seems like another planet, and from what I’ve read it went into a COVID-19 lockdown recently.

Bro emigrated there in 1996 and I have seen him twice since, once when he came to the UK for his 60th birthday and share it with my Mum, and the other when I visited for two months in 2010. Skype is OK, but obviously not the same, though we do ring each other occasionally too. He’s in a quiet a little village, though a lot of people from Auckland have holiday homes there so they’ve all turned up! He’s OK, but at 76 and not in good health, he has to stay at home.

I’m told it’s a beautiful place to retire — if you’re allowed in. I hope your wish comes true and you’ll be able to see him again.

I guess it would have to be becoming a successful reputable writer

That is certainly well worth working toward.
