La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  , worship leader , small business owner , songwriter , aspiring author and freelance nonfiction writer with a chemical engineering degree .
But that's just my resume.
My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

Well, it wasn't a very productive day yesterday.
I did record a song ("Free," with percussion and bass tracks... I love that recording gear!), update my WordPress blog, and play bd's, which was awesome again. By request, I have to learn a Coldplay song. Any suggestions? Make it quick, and I can still meet my weekly "new repertoire song" by Saturday, which is my last Potbelly day of the week. 
The rest of my day was taken up by an afternoon 3-D showing of "Avatar" with Keith.
Wow.
I don't even mean just the special effects, which were amazing. I'm talking plot... that writer (writers) has a hell of an imagination.
Although, I do have some characterization convenience complaints. The (General? head military dude) and the whiny-ass head corporate dude were too one-dimensional. They were fully evil, blinded to possibility that the Na'vi race might be a legitimate people, and although history has shown that kind of callousness in real-life bad guys, it was too convenient. We didn't get a chance to learn enough about their characters to believe it. And even Jake took a little long to come around and empathize with The People... at one point, when he was reporting back to the General, he was already somewhat emotionally involved. I would have expected him to at least have some reservations about his reporting, or to demonstrate somehow his motivation for betraying them.
Not that I think the writers should have added more characterization to a movie that started at 3pm and ended at 5:45pm.  |

I don't know how you do it, but I assume there's magic involved *^*Bigsmile*^* I have really enjoyed this month of planning and preparation for NaNoWriMo and I love how organized it all is. Thank you for hosting a great challenge and for your dedication to helping so many of us prepare with confidence and trepidation for National Novel Writing Month (known to sane folks as 'November' *^*Laugh*^*) at your [Link To Item #1474311]](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Organization-1150.gif)

For your hard work, commitment, talent and innovation in running the October NaNoWriMo Preparation each year, which helps many of us get our scattered thoughts together for November's novel-writing. And also because this badge has ducks on it.](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Leadership.gif)
