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.

Weekly writing goals
Profile 43 Characters: Mystic and Wisdom. I converted one weekly morning 750Words assignment to a MT.com blog post  Open in new Window., and then proceeded to write the post directly in Wordpress. At least I blogged! Now I have to write at 750Words as well. Perhaps more character development. I didn't get far with either Mystic or Wisdom.
Rewrite one short story: Done: "The Butterfly Stone" Open in new Window. [13+] *Check* Which, I realized when I went through the reviews, has been edited several times. Now it's utterly brilliant, haha. Or, at a minimum, I remembered the character enough to profile her and write the background story. I might also continue the story, since many reviews said they wanted to know what happens to the unnamed servant at the end. So maybe I should profile him at some point.
Character Inventory: In progress. My written works are EVERYWHERE... laptop, old hard drives, WDC, Evernote, old pen-and-paper notebooks. I've tried to consolidate. It only seems to get worse, because I can't decide where to put everything.
Review 1 hour: Done. *Check*
Revise one song: Tomorrow.

Weekly work goals
Reach 400 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/12: 229.0
Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window.: Done! *Check*
Year-end closeout: In progress.
Sign-in process for students: In progress.
Judge Ohio Idol videos: PENDING and NEEDS TO BE SCHEDULED.

Music Log
Yesterday, I practiced: Scarlatti's Sonata in D minor for piano again. I got through the whole piece. Now to master it.
Yesterday, I listened to: Scarlatti's Sonata in D minor... about seven different sonatas. That dude loved Dm, because he had a slew of sonatas in key. I read somewhere that he wrote 555 total sonatas for keyboard. Can't for the life of me find the one I'm learning.
This week, I performed at: Tomorrow at Senor Patron.
Songwriting progress: Tomorrow.
