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.

Current real estate goal: Organize garage.
No activity.
Read a book in print for fifteen minutes every day.
Goal met.
Business: Location. Start looking into real estate opportunities.
No activity.
Business: Music Instruction Books.
No activity. However, I have a new student, a 7-year-old whose mom enrolled him in voice lessons, but she really just wants him to learn any kind of music. The music program was cut in his school thanks to the same two-time failed levy that put my friend Emily and her husband both out of work. In the process of teaching my new student (Michael), I am formulating curriculum ideas in my head.
Writing them down would be smart. But I have two Textbroker articles to write and desperately need a nap, so, maybe later. |

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.
