La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  Open in new Window., worship leader  Open in new Window., small business owner  Open in new Window., songwriter  Open in new Window., aspiring author  Open in new Window. and freelance nonfiction writer  Open in new Window. with a chemical engineering degree  Open in new Window..

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.

I still feel scattered. I need focus. I've always been a very focused person, so I don't know how to handle this.

Reach 275 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11.
*Writing* 223... our receptionist is giving notice at her other job! We're ready.

Writing:
(1) *Thumbsup* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of Wednesday: Yes!
(2) *Thumbsup* 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: I did my 750Words entry, but I still have a setting description and antagonist profile to write.

Count points:
Yesterday was like 35, which is 10 over. Am I taking this competition seriously? Chris could win, and I'll have to work FRIDAYS! That would be stinky. Well, except for the part where we're hiring a receptionist, so it's really not that bad. *Bigsmile* Still... I have to do better. Her scale (which we're using for competition) says I was 175 to start, 174.8 today. That's crap, though. My scale at home has me barely over 170. *Pthb* I like my scale better.

Today: 16 so far.
(2) Yogurt
(4) Granola bar
(2) Peanut butter pretzels
(2) Coffee
(6?) Doritos - they get hard to measure at the bottom of the bag

Wow, I must have been exhausted... started this blog post last night and fell asleep before I published it. *Pthb* *Sleep*

I made the mistake of listening to my "Singable" station on Pandora. Now I wanna go gig somewhere. I find classical much more conducive to writing, but it wasn't loud enough to drown out the TV.

So now I may be forced to play computer games.

Reach 275 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11.
*Writing* 223.5... just one extended lesson away from a receptionist and much less work for moi! *Heart* Plus... Hallelujah... I get to start paying myself! *Heart**Heart* Well, it helps that I'm finally in contract. I don't have to draw business funds to pay the mortgage on a house I don't occupy.

Writing:
(1) *Thumbsup* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of Wednesday: Yes!
(2) *Thumbsup* 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: Yes, 750Words.com, plus a silly zombie haiku and a review. I'm in pretty good shape in the writing realm... except that I haven't written any Textbroker articles in the last couple weeks.

Count points: 35.5
Breakfast: Sausage (4), cheese (1.5), yogurt (2), coffee (2)
Lunch: Cereal (4), toast with honey (3)
Snack: Yogurt (2), string cheese (1)
Dinner: Pancakes (7), bacon (7.5) and apple juice (2.5) = 17
