Cerys' Birthday giveaway

As a child I certainly wanted to be many things. I wanted to explore space, I wanted to save lives, run into burning buildings. You know, all the usual works.

I think in terms of serious aspirations:

  1. I wanted to go into pharmacy since I was around 12 or so years old. Not because I was excited about medication or anything, but because I figured they made good money and had steady work. While I did enter university as a chemistry major, I never ended up pursuing this.

  2. This is a (somewhat) more recent dream of mine, Iā€™d say late high school/early uni afterwards, but I want to go to Mars. No particular reason, but Iā€™m still fascinated by space and all that unknown. Heck, I joke about being put in the history books as the first person to die on Mars! And hey, who knows, maybe in 10 years Iā€™ll try applying to be an astronautā€¦

  3. And to top it off and what I still consider my primary aspiration (and one Iā€™ve had since I was a little kid), is to be a writer. Itā€™s still a dream job of mine and Iā€™ve taken a few stabs at it over the years, though sadly I used to write much more as a teen compared to now.

I have this sprawling story in my head, with moving parts that continue to merge, change, and transform. Grand hopes of creating this massive, 10 book fantasy series that spans millions of years and dozens of lives, while revolving around a single soul struggling to make a decision. This is still something I really want to do, and I hope writing more for this site will help polish my writing and creative skills.

Aaaand thatā€™s it for now! Iā€™m sure Iā€™ve forgotten a fair bit of goals or dreams I had, but I think these are the main ones that stuck around. Heck, I think I still have a time capsule under a bed somewhere with something like ā€œso, am I a writer now?ā€

Ok so super thanks everyone for joining in, please keep doing so.

there were so many great submissions, I couldnā€™t chose only 3 and then Soul came in with a fabby last minute story. So instead I picked 5 of my favorites and a second code so that the giveaway was 100% more awesome and 100% more ultimate.
