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.

Sometimes, I think I want to be a writer again. But then I remember that writing is work. Heh.

As many of you know, I am not allergic to work, like many of the seven-year-olds who walk through my school door thinking they want to be Hendrix or Swift, only discover that learning guitar takes practice - hours and hours of it - and hurts your fingers. No, work doesn't bother me. But I do too many kinds of work at a time right now as it is. It's good to know your limitations.

Still, I miss writing.

Reach 300 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11.
*Writing* We were closed all weekend, and I worked on yard work. But as of yesterday, we dipped back to 169 and up again to 171. This withdrawal - one dude, a double lesson - never paid his May tuition. Then he kept missing his double lesson in May and asking for make-ups by email, but completely ignored his statement and my request that he call in with a tuition payment by the end of last week. I believe this may be the first withdrawal that we forced on a client.

Reading: One book per week.
*Writing* Still weeding through Eldest. Enjoying it, even getting sucked in a bit, but nothing like the Twilight series. I find that interesting fodder for analysis. It's got to be the narrative drive. Meyer's writing just moves. Paolini sweeps Tolkien-esque across sprawling landscapes, with an occasional zoom in on plot and characters. I can envision legato, crescendoing music as the camera swirls in fast-motion around the towering mountain peaks... but I'm still not as engaged as I would be in a fast-paced action film.

Writing:
(1) *Thumbsdown* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of Wednesday: Guess I missed this entirely last week. And... oops... today is Wednesday again.
(2) *Thumbsdown* 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: I hardly think the paragraph above took 30 minutes to write.

I'm tired of my weight-loss goal. *Pthb*
