grandparents

I have decided that I want to do something extravagant with my life. I have several choices that I would be content with.

1) Get married and have kids, because nothing is more exciting than having kids.

2) Get married, have kids, and become a famous author. I want to be a house hold name liek Stephen King. Though I don't write in the genre as him, I'm more Danielle Steel without all the predictability, I do want people say "who are you reading?" and when someone answers "DeAnna (whatever my last name will be when I get married" I want the first person to say, "I've read her! She's fabulous!"

Even better yet, I want to write a novel that inspires someone. I want one of my novels to be one where I'm doing a book signing and someone comes up and says "your novel inspired me to ... whatever." Just one person. I just want to make a difference in one person's life through my writing.

And I want to do something amazing before my grandparents die. Hear me out. All of the grandkids, besides me, have been married. Aunties, please correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as my knowledge goes, I'm the only one never been married. And all but one have had kids. Again, correct me if I'm wrong. I see how much my grandparents enjoy they great grandkids. And I want them to get to meet my kids before they go. At least meet my husband. But as it doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime soon....I'll be content to get published before they go. I can at least bring the book to them, all signed and looking pretty, and show them my accomplishment. Have them proud of me for something I've done. Have something I've created on their mantle, next to the pictures of they great grandchildren.

Now if only I could get an idea for the next Great American Novel and get it published.

Wonder which I'll do first, marriage and kids, or get published. At this point, they both look impossible to reach.

WARNING: Rant time *sigh* It'll happen I know....but really....when? And if someone tells me one mroe time "when you least expect it" I'm gonna hit them. Right now, I'm not even expecting it...so why hasn't it happened? Rant Over

So basically, I just want to make my grandparents proud of me and have them display something I've created, book or picutre of my children.
