#3: Be A Published Author

Hooray! Number 3 has actually been crossed off since I was in fifth grade, but I forgot about it until I ran across the book while cleaning out my closet. Yes, I published a poem in a (legit) book of poetry when I was eleven. I'm not making any promises that it was a good poem, but apparently these little publishers thought it was good enough. here's a picture of my name in the index:

COOL.

and no, I'm not going to post the poem because we all know no one wants to read it anyway. but YAY for another thing crossed off!

cheers,
