La Bene Vita

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 remember when I made this blog public. I was keeping it as a private journal to track my goals, thinking nobody would be interested in reading such a thing. Well, they were - I had a lot of readers when I first went public. Now, I have much fewer. In my observation, that changed right around the time I stopped scrolling.

Moral of story: The more visible your online presence, the more people want to read you.

So visibility is key. But at the same time, I'm afraid to inundate Facebook and Twitter with junk. I want a witty, entertaining public presence, and I'm just not always in a witty mood. To build a celebrity brand online these days takes a lot of work and planning. Or maybe natural talent, of which I have a little, but not enough to crank out daily witticisms that keep readers coming back. This is why I teach and sing.

Renovation
Work scheduled next week. By "scheduled" I mean that me and a group of helpers are finishing the room and making it look nice. That's all the farther I've planned.

Reach 275 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11.
A few walk-ins this week. But 275 is pretty much not gonna happen.

Writing:
*Bullet* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of the month: Yes.
One character profile per day: No.
One fiction contest entry per day: No.
One original song per week: No.

Count points:
No, are you kidding? How many points are in Christmas cookies and candy and no-bake bars?
