The Bucket List Blogfest

Hey Blog-Friends! I'm pleased to announce the FIRST EVAR blogfest on SwimWriteRun! 


I know, I'm excited too.


I have a birthday coming up in a few weeks, and around this time of year I tend to get reflective. This go-round, it's less about what I've done and more about what I want to do as I move forward... and I'd love to hear the same from you!


Join Erinn and I in sharing the things you most want to do before you kick the bucket.


This Blogfest is open to everyone - the more the merrier!


The rules are simple:


1) Sign up with the Mr. Linky widget below.


2) Post your entry on Friday, March 11.


And that's it!


Sign up, spread the word, and feel free to post the snazzy graphic to your blog.

    I want to do this, but then again, that means I'd have to seriously contemplate my life. Not sure I really want to do that right now... :)

    All the more reason to join in! Just... semi-seriously contemplate. :)

    I'm in! I'm allittle dense about these things but the list should slow up on your own blog, right? As the march 11 post, right?

    And yes, you post the list to your blog, and we will visit it and read on March 11. :)

    OK, let me do this one more time - without all the crazy fat finger mistakes I make while "typing" on my iPad!

    "I'm alittle dense about these things, but the list should show up on your own blog - as the March 11th posting, right?"

    I am not at all anal! :-)

    I might be on travel March 11, but I'll give this a go. I'll make it a little easier on myself by only considering writing/poetry related goals, though. Looking forward to seeing all the posts.

    This is such an awesome idea. I have never made a bucket list before and i am realizing it is a reflection of what you consider most important in life. I know duh...but what i mean is you might have snippets of say "Going sky diving." or "Cooking a meal for grandma," etc but for everyone there is a theme to the bucket list. So far mine is die hard nerd.

    @ Marie - Whoops! I meant to include a guideline for 5 things, but if people go over, is fine :)
