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.

Well, I've had the flu. That set me back approximately three days... on everything.

Blogging observations: At its peak, my WDC blog had about three times as many readers as it does currently. Since I stopped scrolling and writing new pieces, I've become less visible. Visibility of the author = interest in the author's blog? As my local celebrity grows (mostly due to the 30-foot sign on Hamilton Road proudly displaying my stage name), will my visibility yield interest in any writing I might pursue under that name? Alexa still ranks my site at just over 600,000 global (146,000 in the US), with about 1/3 of visitors bouncing, and the other 2/3 spending an average of 10 minutes on the site viewing an average of 10 pages. Interesting, but it doesn't answer the visibility question. Google Analytics reports 84 visitors in the last week.

Reach 300 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11.
*Writing* Still hovering around 200.

Writing:
(1) *Thumbsdown* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of Wednesday: Nope.
(2) *Thumbsdown* 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: Nope. I've been toying with the urge to go through my port and edit.

Count points: Nope, but I didn't eat much of anything yesterday.
