Dreams and Goals I’d trade my talents for

Recently, I was reading the website of one of my favorite authors, and on their FAQ page they had listed one thing they wanted in case the right someone saw it to make it happen for them. This is partially inspired by that, but it's also just forme toreference when I want to do things but my creative well is dry. I'm going to break this into sections, both for ease of reading, as well as in the ever elusive pursuit of organization. This is a living document to be added to and updated as life goes on.
