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.

Launch one new Potbelly song per week.
 Goal met/on hold.
Write one new original song per month.
In progress. I recorded my newest instrumental piano piece, but I still need to find the lyrics that match. I'm not stressing over it, because I have plans to work with Robert Waltz  later this week and finish our Tesla collaboration. Therefore, my newest song, which still needs lyrics, may become July's goal.
Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Goal met! Yippee, I met one of my goals! Check it out: http://michelletuesday.wordpress.com
Write two Helium article by 6/24/09.
Pending, and this deadline is approaching... yikes. And it's actually three articles that I need, so I'll change that for tomorrow.
Submit one short story/article per month.
Pending. I just need to find another potential market for "The Butterfly Stone".
Work for fifteen minutes on "Poor Witch" [E] every day.
Fail. I haven't touched it in about two weeks. I don't know if I'll find the fifteen minutes today, but I might try an experiment. I'll be hanging out with a seven-year-old who loves to read tonight, so I may read through some of it with her and see if she likes it. I dunno, though, because I'm working on Mildred's character, and I need to give her a tad more maturity in the beginning of the story.
Complete and edit "Poor Witch" [E] by 6/30/09.
In progress.
Read a book in print for fifteen minutes every day.
Fail. I just need to decide what I'm reading next; I'm thinking another one of the books MaryLou  sent me.
Resign from Abbott by 12/1/09.
In progress.
Maintain a maximum weight of 150.0.
Weight: I hit my goal, and then haven't weighed myself in a week! I may or may not weigh myself this week either, but by next week, I'll start back up again to make sure I'm maintaining. The previous weeks' worth of entries  do not include complete lists of my food intake. I've had grilled filet mignon, brats, chips, potato salad, Steak 'n Shake... a lot of fatty and high calorie foods. This week, I'm back on track.
Meals:
6:30am Granola bar (2.5) and coffee (1)
9:00am NutriGrain bar (2.5)
1:45pm Skinny roast beef sandwich (7)
8:00pm Red Lobster! Yummeh. Maine lobster tail in butter, about four scallops, maybe four shrimp, a couple bites of rice, and four or five large pieces of broccoli. And a biscuit.
9:30pm Small scoop of ice cream |

I don't know how you do it, but I assume there's magic involved *^*Bigsmile*^* I have really enjoyed this month of planning and preparation for NaNoWriMo and I love how organized it all is. Thank you for hosting a great challenge and for your dedication to helping so many of us prepare with confidence and trepidation for National Novel Writing Month (known to sane folks as 'November' *^*Laugh*^*) at your [Link To Item #1474311]](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Organization-1150.gif)

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.
