Sharing My Wildest Author Dreams (That I'm Working To Make Come True)

Today, I wanted to share some of my long term author goals, that are really more like big dreams that I am working toward someday making come true. Today's post won't be super long, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. Here are my big author dreams.

1. Become a bestselling author. I don't care how this happens. I just want to one day be able to say that my work was desired by and touched many people.

2. I want to have my books available in bookstores, not only across the entire country, but internationally! I have made big leaps toward this, getting my book to individuals all over the world (thank you, my international readers!) but I want my books to be widely available in physical bookstores.

3. I want to give readers the same gleeful, giddy feeling I get when I read a really good book. I know this is not one I'll likely hear about much, but I still hope to one day make this happen. 

4. I want to be someone's favorite author (because they love my stories, not because they know me - though I'm definitely not discrediting how amazing it is for people who know me to tell me they love my books: Thank you guys <3).

5. I want to go on a full scale book tour, with readings and interviews! I would love this, and I'm planning to do my first small book tour when Fated releases this spring!

6. I want to consistently make enough money off my books that I don't have to work. I likely still will, because I love my job, but it would be nice if my writing was my main source of income.

Thank you all for reading, and for coming along with me on this crazy journey! I'd love to know... what are some of your big dreams?
