My End-Of-The-World
109 DAY
Reconciliation Party
LIST.
Start date: Tuesday the 4th of
September.
End Date: Friday the 21st of
December.
The LIST:
·
My les é checs dyfi – Chess Challenge: Over the following
109 days I will start an epic game of chess with my father and anyone else who
wants to play. I am terrible at chess right now and so I vow to learn and try
and beat him. I will also be aiming to photograph myself doing chess in a
series of weird and unusual places in weird and unusual outfits. Just think; if
you desire to play chess with me you will end up on my Blog, my FB page and
DeviantArt heehee, so embrace the fame. :]
It is also the case that whenever my Dad or I lose a piece we have to say a
secret or truth (or take a shot, or both heehee…and anyone else is invited to
this game too).
·
Write more poetry: I will aim to write a poem every
second day based on an entire list of themes and quirky ideas or feelings that
I will put up soon, or perhaps I will reveal each theme with each poem. I will
get a new members ID on DeviantArt and take part in poetry competitions as well
as submit poetry to various magazines and comps that I can find.
·
Create better writing habits: Write for two hours every day, no
matter what time I have to do it and no matter how I’m feeling, because I know
it will help. Enter writing competitions and enrol in an editing and
proofreading home-based course, so I can better perfect my style and novels. I
will also pay people to edit my work and help me improve. I will try out as
many curious and strange writing practises I can to help me keep sharp and I
will buy a typewriter and learn to master the art of old fashioned writing. I
will also aim to have my first novel sent off in various submissions by the end
of this 109 day period and my second book in the series re-written and edited.
·
Create a canvas portrayal of all my
characters and important ones: Paint it, sketch it or whatever, just do it.
·
Grow a Viola aurea or a Viola
arborescens: These
flowers belong to the family of my birth flower, the violet. The first name I
wrote is commonly known as the Golden Violet while the second is called the
Tree Violet. Bake my way through a small
dessert cookbook: Just small, so I can complete it within this time frame,
but I will find a challenging book and photograph what I create. I also want to
hone my decoration skills more and try cooking more savoury dishes and
experimenting more. I even hope that somewhere down the track I could get to
the stage of maybe opening my own line of Pastries. I’d call it Hummingbird Delicacies.
·
Reconcile and decide where I stand
with Jesus, and myself: my beliefs.
·
Experience love.
·
Find a way to be happy again.
·
Reconnect with all my friends again.
·
Put my Writing Plan into action: Okay basically my Writing Plan is the
set of steps I have figured out to bring my novel into the world and get it
published. First is the basic re-write of all the books in my Golden Dragon
Series. Five in total. I have basically done the first book, which is the first
novel I ever tried to write, while I have started on Book Two. I then go back
and edit what I have re-written then – when I have some money under my belt – I
hire a professional editor to look it all over as well as finding as many
friends and booklovers as I can to read it and tell me what they think. After
this I will adjust everything accordingly, after which is the final edit. Once
this has all gone down (and mind I may not finish this process for all the
books in the series by the end of the 109 days but I will hopefully have done
so for Book One), I will then print out as many hard copies of the book as is
required as well as ensuring I have back-up copies of my work physically, on
file, on USB, on disc and on my hard drive. Then I will complete the same
process with my cover letter, my enquiry letter and the blurb about the story
itself. I will then research a list of every publisher and every literary agent
from every country that publishers in a similar genre to mine, and then
following their submission guidelines to the letter I will submit as many
copies of my work as I can. As well as this I will create business cards, go to
writing festivals and plague parties where agents and publishers hang out. I
will try to create a network of contacts and friends and practise as many
writing habits as I can.
·
Volunteer Somewhere: I have always wanted to try and do
something to just get out of my head, so I shall try.
·
Change my hair colour or style.
·
Travel somewhere.
·
Get my licence: Or at least begin to work on driving
and obtaining it again.
·
Begin a savings plan: I will have three accounts; a
general use account, a savings account and a back-up account. Three guesses?
Heehee. But I hope through this plan that I can be pretty secure for the most
of my life. The savings account mind, can only be accessed if I’m planning to
get married, get a degree, buy a house or car or go on a world trip.
·
Go on a road trip somewhere: I know, hard to do so if I can’t
drive, but maybe just go on one with some friends.
·
Lose 10 – 15
kg more: Or until I can fit into a size 6 – 8 pair of jeans.
·
Own a kitten.

But still be close
to my family and friends.

Go to an opera.
·
Go to a musical festival.
·
Go to more parties.
·
Give more.
·
Host a party before the world is
meant to end.
·
Put a video on YouTube.
·
Learn to play something.
·
Build a boat.
·
Create more.
·
Invent something or discover a theory
of some sort.
·
Swim in the sea more.
·
Get a degree that will really make me
think, or at least begin to save for one.
