I'm doing 27 things
I’ve always believed that I would do this someday. I’ve wanted to be a novelist ever since I can remember. Now that I’m 34 and married with a baby on the way, I find my interest waning. Which is why I have to do it now! So I bought a novel-writing workbook, and I’m developing an idea based on a family story that has fascinated me since I was very young. This is the one dream that I have to make happen.

I’ve lived in Minnesota 9 years, and I’ve never seen them! You can’t see them in the Cities, where I live, and I’ve never been far enough north at the right time. But my husband is from Duluth, so I anticipate many years of “up north” trips and many more opportunities to correct the situation!
