Bucket List

I've been watching a comedy on Netflix called No Tomorrow. It started out on the CW, but unfortunately it wasn't renewed. The premise: This guy, Xavier, is convinced an asteroid is going to impact the earth in eight months, wiping us out.  So he quits his job and writes a "bucket list" of things he wants to do during his last days with his friend Evie.
Some of them are poignant, like reconnecting with his estranged father. Some are adventurous, like skydiving. And some are wacky. Rolling down a hill in one of those huge hamster bubbles was one.

When I turned 60, I experienced the same morbid feeling of "last days" and started my own bucket list. Now, It makes me smile every time I cross something off. Here's the list:

Song of the Ancients, 2015)Earn $1,000 from book and apply for PAN status RWA (Done! 2016)Write a suspense novel (working – completed draft August)Write next novel in the paranormal series (starting August)Get a bigger publisher.
