Brandiwyn🎶Prep starts 10/1!

, also known as Michelle Tuesday, is a musician, educator and writer hailing from Columbus, Ohio.

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.

Wow, that was actually pretty good! It goes to show how humanity has always been the same and God has His hand in everything... Or something

Thanks for sharing!

I'll be more impressed if Michelle can walk, chew gum, and whistle without swallowing the gum all at the same time.

Even better if she can whistle to the tune of Mozart or something.

Hmmm... if I ever finish that story I was writing which was my first attempt to write a novel, I will definitely ask you what you think of it.

Michelle, if you ever write your story, I wanna read it.

In response to "Story idea and my thoughts on Heaven and Hell"

It's certainly a thing to write about things you don't believe in. For instance, I reject the idea of the supernatural, but it's interesting enough that I've written fiction featuring it. But the problems with writing about "perfect" places are well-documented; it's tough to introduce conflict into a utopia, but it has been done. The enduring popularity of Star Trek is one example.

To address your specific situation: maybe perfection includes incorporating apparent imperfections in order to make things interesting. Like how Lucifer's fall, and Adam and Eve's for that matter, were actually all part of the Plan. After all, if God could be surprised, He wouldn't be omniscient, would He? And if Heaven's perfect, then doesn't that mean that the residents' supposed free will has been taken away, and isn't that a contradiction?

One superpower we have as humans is to imagine the impossible.

I know I'm saying all this as an outsider, so take it as you will. And you know me well enough, I hope, to know that I'm not saying any of this to be hurtful or obnoxious.

Oh, and Elycia Lee ☮, it's possible to be both a scientist and a musician. Brandiwyn🎶Prep starts 10/1! can walk and chew gum at the same time.

You are a scientist? I thought you are a musician.

Writing a story that involves God, heaven, hell, and angels are to me one of the most difficult stories to write especially if you want to be factually right.

I tried and fell flat on my face. Good luck. I really do like the idea of angels getting promoted... your arguments are valid too...

Saturday: 34 Days

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.

34 days.

Brand the biz(es.)

I enrolled a new student in band coaching and lessons, thanks to a referral from one of my existing clients. I gave her a referral credit on her invoice! Wheee!

You know what I'd really like to find the time for? SEO (search engine optimization) for my biz websites. It's on my ever-growing to-do list.

15 minutes of small biz research per day.

I've been looking up performance venues all morning. I discovered a fascinating list of local venues (potential gigs!), as well as competitors, published by the Other paper. And in the process, I've submitted my name for two local Concert-in-the-Park series. I'm afraid it might be too late to get on their schedules.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.

Goal met.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.

Goal met. In fact, I posted two or three times this week, including a cover of Let It Be. http://www.michelletuesday.com

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 3/31/10.
Weight:
Meals:
8:00am Coffee (1)

Write new lyrics once per week.

Pending.

Write one new original song per month.

In progress.

Launch one new repertoire song per week.

Goal met.

Writing...

Four Textbroker articles in progress. I'm also thinking of a WDC contest or submission forum to ramp up blog posts, but first I need to set the blog up.

I'm still feeling a little cranky. I'm not sure why. The church fell through and I lost the bd's gig (til spring). I've gotten five nibbles on my house in the last two weekends, probably thanks to warmer weather, so you'd think that would make me happy. It does, except that I'm feeling pressure to find a new home. Things are moving fast - my Advisors have great ideas, and I don't have time to implement them all. I may have to start paying people to do things for me *now* (or, at least, really soon) - but my biz plan isn't solid enough yet to get funding for that.

Small business is not for the lazy.
