My Creative Bucket List
I came up with a couple things that I want to do before I die - things I want to do before I “kick the bucket”, so to speak. I want to go to a lot of places and experience a lot of things, but these are some of the creative things on my bucket list.
In no particular order:
- Write, sing and do production for my own R&B album. I’ve been taking a lot of inspiration from The Weeknd‘s “House of Balloons” mixtape. It’s simple, brilliant, and it seems like something similar to that could possibly within my reach to accomplish. My stage name, if/when I do this: Pistil.
- Give this website, lukemcreynolds.com, a makeover. I just realized it’s had the same design since 2008. :-/
- Write a science fiction novel about alien Christian missionaries. The concept sounds silly, but if it’s properly executed, the novel won’t be. I just had this idea about half an hour ago, so it’s still in its infancy, but I think it has a lot of promise. Basic premise: several hundred (thousand?) years in the future, humans make contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life. Many of the extraterrestrials believe in a Messiah, similar to the Christian messiah, Jesus Christ. I would likely be taking a lot of inspiration from C.S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy series, and from Madeline L’Engle’s books.
That’s the idea anyway. Or at least, three of them. We’ll see which ones I accomplish. :-)
