La Bene Vita
The (Tentative*) Topic Rotation
Self Sundays: Personal blogging days about family, leisure, work, and health. May be boring.
Music Mondays: Commentary, articles, and links highlighting music, theory, and ed topics.
Writing Wednesdays: Discussion on the art and business of writing.
"Invalid Item" Open in new Window. Thursdays: A weekly original short story submission.
Friday Reviews**: Every Friday, I will review a minimum of one short story on WDC.


* I reserve the right to change the topic of the day at any time, at least until I acquire a million followers and gain official "influencer" status, at which point I shall be more consistent in order to meet the expectations of my adoring public.
** I can only commit to one review per week. If you would like your short story to be in my reviewing queue, please send me a WDC review request.  Open in new Window. Check out my public reviews  Open in new Window. to get a sense of what to expect.

In case I've never mentioned it, October is my busiest month. It's PrepMo, of course, which is busy even when I'm not actively participating, like I am this year. Also, my music school's most popular performance event happens the weekend before or after Halloween: Our annual Halloween Party Recitals.

Friday night is for adults and teens only. Saturday and Sunday afternoons are filled with performances from all our kiddos, plus Halloween activities like trick-or-treating from room to room, completing a craft in the lab, taking photos in front of the Spooky Selfie Station, and competing in a costume contest.

For me, personally, that means teaching lessons Friday afternoon; setting up for and conducting teen/adult recitals Friday night, and then breaking back down for Saturday lessons; teaching lessons Saturday morning; setting up again and conducting Saturday afternoon lessons; sleeping until noon (HA!) Sunday; Sunday afternoon recitals; then break it all down and set back up for lessons to resume on Monday.

If you got lost in the paragraph, imagine how I feel when I'm actually in it.

So, in summary, you won't see much of me this weekend. Try bugging Robert Waltz Author Icon, S🤦‍♂️ Author Icon, and Storm Machine Author Icon if you need anything - or just post it in the Prep forum. Those folks love helping others figure things out. *Smile*

I'm off to buy candy corn (to mix with the Chex Mix) and punch. See you Monday. *Heart*
