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.

NEW GOAL: Learn one new cover band song per week.
I added songs to my YouTube playlist and looked up lyrics, bass tab, and guitar tab (haven't settled on which instrument I'll play!) I think the first song I'll be working on is "Cannonball" by The Breeders.
Launch one new Potbelly song per week.
Not yet, although I was messing around with new chord progressions while looking at naked lyrics again, sort of singing potential melodies in my head. The cords were a bit raw after my scream session with Luis on Sunday, so I needed some instrumental time at Potbelly to keep my voice from giving out. Sometimes I just make stuff up on the fly. Sometimes a new song comes of it.
Write one new original song per month.
 Goal met: "Longing" [13+]

Fail.
Post at WordPress at least once per week.

Submit one short story/article per month.
Pending. The jury is still out on my "The Butterfly Stone" sub from last month.

Fail, despite receiving a full novel review. I swear, I'm interested in it; I'm just busy as hell. You know... writing Textbroker articles and working four jobs.

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. And also because this badge has ducks on it.](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Leadership.gif)
