About This Author

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.

We set goals with the best of intentions, and then life interferes.
I forgot my laptop charger at work on Thursday, along with my guitar and amp, which I needed to play lunch at Senor Patron. So instead of working on writing goals Friday morning on my juiceless computer, I drove to work (half hour from home) in the morning, grabbed the gear and charger, headed back to Senor Patron (five minutes from home.) After having already driven to Gahanna once, I decided not to go back to work. So I wrote in the afternoon. Then last night, I had to go pick up a drunk friend at 2:00 in the morning and didn't get back to bed until 4:00.
Needless to say, I didn't wake up at 5:00 to write and exercise before work today. And yesterday was pretty much a bust. I did, however, work on songwriting yesterday, per my schedule. Just not at the right time.

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)
