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.

Reach 300 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11.
*Writing* 200-ish. On the plus side, our inquiries have picked up substantially in the last couple of days. That's a good sign.

Writing:
(1) *Check* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of Wednesday: Yep.

(2) *Thumbsdown* 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: Ha ha!! I revised two very, very short poems. This is going to be a controversial statement, but I believe a vast majority of the poetry on WDC, including my own, is the lazy man's writing. I'd like to be a writer, but I only want to invest ten or fifteen minutes at a time, so I'll throw two verses of poetry together. Once you get to verse three, you have to work at it to make the patterns fit.. Likewise, flash is the lazy man's fiction. The truth is, if you want to be a professional writer, you have to carve out larger chunks of time for writing and stick to the schedule with commitment and dedication.

I, sadly, don't have that level of commitment to writing. At some point, I may need to acknowledge that I wasn't meant to be a professional writer.

Count points:
Monday: 19 (so far)
2 Special K granola bar
4 1 cup Raisin Bran with 1/2 cup skim milk
1.5 Coffee
2 Lemonheads
2 Nutrigrain Bar
4.5 Coconut M&M's
1 Peanut butter pretzels
2 Soup
