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.

Write one Textbroker article per weekday.
Goal met yesterday and this morning.

SEO: My favorite WordPress plugin is called "Keyword Statistics". It counts keyword densities and reports them below the post as you write, so you can scroll down and see if the keywords showing up are the ones you're targeting. A good keyword target is 2-4%, so if I'm below 2% or above 4% on my targeted keywords, I can massage the article as I go, tossing in an extra "music lessons" here or cutting an "it's always" there. Very cool. 
Launch one new performance repertoire song per week.
Goal met: "I'll Fly Away" and "Blessed Be Your Name"
Write one new original song per month.

TOTAL POINTS SO FAR: 29.5
Yesterday was bad. I ate at church and did not count dinner points. That's my one freebie for the week.
I haven't been mentioning it, because it's not in my goals, but church has been keeping me hopping the last week or two. We're launching a new Wednesday night outdoor worship service this summer, and I've been directing the Senior Saints (choir made up of elderly singers) in the absence of their normal director, a friend of mine who had a stroke. I'm having my doubts about keeping up Textbroker and Advice for Business Manager goals. I might need to just focus on performance and music school for awhile.
To be fair, though, I've been spending too much time playing computer games . |

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.
