This post is short and sweet to share just a couple examples of the specific and motivational notes on her goals and vision that American science fiction writer — and winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula awards — Octavia Butler wrote for herself.

I shall be a bestelling writer.

This is my life.

So be it.

…whether publishers push them hard or not.

My books will be read by millions of people.

What about you? What are your audacious goals and plans? Your vision for your author life? Have you written it down for yourself?
