Hello everyone. Today we are celebrating the launch of Dana Sitar’s new ebook: A Writer’s Bucket List. This little gem is packed with fun tips for aspiring writers. Dana has painstakingly taken her many years of experience, and crafted an awesome, easy to follow Bucket List to help writers who are just starting to get their feet wet.
I’m proud to have been one of the many editors for this project. It was a fabulous, enlightening experience for me.
What have I crossed off my Bucket List?
1. Have a radio interview that streamed worldwide. {I was blessed enough to get it for my 5 chapter preview. It even ranked #! in Writing three days after it aired.}
2. Meet some awesome people through many different venues.
3. Continue to grow as a writer.
4. I’ll always keep my “Pay It Forward” attitude.
5. I’ve started my first official series of novels.

wow, that radio interview is so impressive. You must have been giddy, lol. I love Dana’s book and am happy to check out your blog because of the launch introduction.
Hi Terry! Welcome to my blog. Dana is awesome, and her enthusiasm is contagious. Dana’s book is awesome. Wish I’d read it before I started writing. Would have made the rough times easier.
The radio interview was an enlightening experience. I was excited, and nervous. Mostly the later.

There is a link to the interview right on the landing page of my bog too.
Catrina – good luck with your novel series – what genre?
Hi Elizabeth! Thanks for stopping by.
It’s YA Paranormal Romance {tiger shifters.}
Thank you.
Thanks for all your support, Kitty! Awesome job on crossing off those items — you’ve done some pretty cool stuff
Thanks Dana. It’s been a wild ride so far.
You totally deserve the support.
Dropping by from the blog hop. It sounds like you’ve already crossed off some great things on your bucket list. =) Best of luck on all of your goals to come!
Hello, Lissa. Thanks for taking time to stop by.
Some awesome things have already happened, and many more are in the works. 
What’s on your Bucket List?
All I can say is wow! I want to be like you when I grow up. Congratulations on your radio interview and best of luck with all the things you are going to cross of your bucket list this year.
Hi Pageline, thanks for commenting. The radio show interview was really a lucky break. Never let anyone tell you that you can’t reach for your dreams. *hug*
You’re ahead of me on the radio interview. Good job on that! I just read Dana’s book yesterday and I was pleased to see I’d crossed off well over half of those things on my own list. Now to work on the remainder.
Good luck with your novels.
Hi Jean, thanks for stopping by. I’ve crossed off some big steps on my bucket list. Have many more to go, but it’s a start.
Those are some awesome goals you’ve marked off! Great job!
Also, read your bio – I can totally hit you up for fight scene advice, right? Please?
Hello Rebekah! Thanks for stopping by.
If you get stuck on a fight scene drop me and an email and I can offer suggestions.
I always spent my half an hour to read this weblog’s posts everyday along with a mug of coffee.

Aw, thank you. I’m glad you find my site worthy of your time and attention.
Congrats, what a great many items crossed off your bucket list already
Wishing you all the best with everything else!
Hello Estrella, thank you.
What things are on your bucket list?
And aside from that, I’d like to move in with my boyfriend. That’s a big one, and involves more than my own share will. Many more things to add to my bucket list will arise from that one, for sure.
Glad to see You’ve started making one.
Next thing to do is brainstorm ways to work towards the first two, which are things you can control. 
Traveling is always fun. Where would you like to go? Add that to the list.
As for moving in with your boyfriend, that should happen when the time is right.
The important thing is you’ve taken the first big step by creating a bucket list.
What kind of essays would you like to write and who for?
I’m sure Dana could help you learn more about writing the traveling articles. Drop her a line. It couldn’t hurt to ask.
There are a number of places I’d like to visit (honestly, I wouldn’t turn down visiting any place if given the opportunity). I know it helps to have a clear item on the list, but right now it depends on my finances (lack thereof, really.)
I’m a staff writer at Milliver’s Travels (http://milliverstravels.com/author/estrella-azul)
So I’m working on saving up, and writing travel articles on places I’ve visited before. It’s fun retracing my steps when writing
As for moving in with my boyfriend, it’s on both our lists. We just need to find an apartment, renovate if need be, etc. which is what I mean by this taking more than sheer willpower
All residences need a little fixing up. For home owners it’s a constant part of life, lol. A floor here, window there, a leaky pipe, ect.
Travel is always cool. It’s great that you’re writing about places you’ve been. A sort of album or tribute to your experiences there.
Awesome, well keep the list and as you reach those goals, proudly cross them off.
It’s an awesome post designed for all the online users; they will obtain advantage from it I am sure.
Hello Tasha, I’m glad you think so. Thanks for stopping by.
Awesome post.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Touche. Solid arguments. Keep up the great effort.
Thanks, I’m glad you agree.
