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.

Update "October Novel Prep Challenge" [13+] contestant log every day.
Pending. I'll do this after all the Contest Round entries are in at noon.
Launch one new Potbelly song per week.
Pending. Next up: "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus.
Post at WordPress at least once per week.
FAIL. Maybe I should make this a monthly goal for now, since that's about how often I've been actually doing it!
Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
 Goal met.
Write one new original song per month.
Goal met: "Invalid Item"
Write one Textbroker article per week.
Pending. I still have a 1,200-word article to write, so that should cover it.
Write three Helium articles per week.
Pending. I have a backlog of two, so I need to write five this week.
Resign from Abbott by 6/1/10.
In progress. I'm working day shift today to free myself up for a three-hour gig this evening. 
Achieve a weight of 145.0 by Thanksgiving.
In progress.
Weight: I dunno, but I bet it's bad.
Meals:
7:00am Fiber PopTarts (6) and coffee (1)
9:30am Chai (1)
12:15pm Two jalepeno poppers (3), cottage cheese (2), and dry salad with sunflower seeds and parmesan cheese (1)
Current real estate goal: Organize garages.
Pending. I at least picked up the DVRs and modem to return them to AT&T, but that was a drama in itself. I was locked out of my house!  It's a good thing I don't live there anymore. I gave my last two keys to the real estate agent, which would have been fine, because I still had the garage door clicker. Well, somebody locked the door leading from the garage into the house.  |

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)
