that 43rd thing!

I may have to adopt this one. I never thought the idea of writing could seem less daunting. But I don’t have to write a manuscript or treatment or anything. And I’ve written those before! It’s just pages! I can just write 250 of them. I feel sort of… set free from my writerly shackles!

loveinthecure cheered this here goal so I perused litc’s list carefully for a 43rd thing worthy goal. There were many, but this one really blew me wide open.

and this is why i love 43things. i marvel at all you cool people. and i am grateful.

Just beautiful! Just beautiful!

Probably the simplest of goals, but very often forgotten.

Thanks to SG, almost-the-birthday-girl, for making me take note.

I absolutely love this idea. One of each, off the top of my head: The Onion Eaters, The Sundowners, Two Variations, Shooting an Elephant, Pygmalion & Claire’s Knee.

Such a noble pursuit, not an easy one to accomplish, even with recipes, and I great admire flowergirlresumed for taking it on.

I know it doesn’t apply to me, but it could. I’m rather bent and broken in places.

I’ve always absolutely loved this idea, and I loved this simple phrasing of it. Thanks to a friend of a friend for having it on list.

I found this little gem courtesy of Summtime. Sounds perfect for 2009!
