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.

Reading: Goals TBD:
*Pencil* For now, I need to pick my next book and start reading it. I also need to set a goal. I'm tempted to shoot for one book per week. I'm afraid that might be too aggressive, and I don't want to get discouraged when I can't meet it. However, I have discovered the most amazing thing about my *Heart*Kindle*Heart*: It talks to me!!! OMG, I can "read" in the car. I spend a minimum of 60-90 minutes per day in my car, except Sunday, during which I only spend about 40 minutes driving. What a complete and utter waste of time, which could be much better spent "reading." And Keith suggested the most awesome idea: I need to figure out how to plug my *Heart*Kindle*Heart* into the stereo system and play it over the speakers.

Writing: Goals TBD: Set goals.
(1) *Check* Blog at WDC daily. DONE.
(2) *Pencil* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. weekly. OVERDUE and PENDING (I owe two posts.)

I'm a little behind on this one, but (surprise!) business goals must come first. *Pthb*
