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.

Moving and Renovation
Got the back more organized, and now you can walk through. *Smile* It's a weight off my shoulders. Soon I'll be able to sit at the desk and work back there again. Processing payroll on Wednesday took ALL DAY because I had to do it out in the open where people could see me and talk to me.

Reach 275 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11.
*Writing* 236.5

Writing:
*Bullet* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of the month: Yes.

One character profile and background story per day: Yesterday, but not yet today.

One fiction contest entry per day: Yes, I entered "The Writer's Cramp" Open in new Window. [13+] with a story about the character I created yesterday. It worked really well, so that's my new daily goal:
1. Use a contest prompt to write a background story about yesterday's character and enter the contest with the story.
2. Create a new character for tomorrow's contest entry.

Meanwhile, I got this nerdy idea to create a characters database, so I could later query the database when I need a stock character who fits a certain profile. Like, I could sort or filter on age, gender, etc. I prolly won't do it, though, because that sort of technical organization shit is the kind of stuff I do to procrastinate instead of actually writing.

One original song per week:
*Bullet* Mon: Compose lyrics.
*Bullet* Tue: Polish lyrics.
*Bullet* Wed: Set to music.
*Bullet* Thu: Polish and record.
*Bullet* Fri: Launch. No activity.
*Bullet* Sat: Snippets/brainstorm. Today, I plan to organize more snippets and pick a topic for Monday's lyrics.
*Bullet* Sun: Snippets/brainstorm.

Count points:
No. *Frown*
