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.

I've been developing characters and settings in my epic "Poor Witch" world for the last few months, gaining inspiration and motivation from "I Write in June-July-August " [ASR] and a variety of contests around the site. While the exercises are fantastic for world building, it's time to regroup and organize my story arc.
On a related note, a friend posted the traits of a Virgo on my Facebook wall, since I am, in fact, a Virgo, and my birthday is approaching. I'm scientific, analytical, which makes me skeptical of astrological trends. Most horoscopes and character trait descriptions are vague enough that they can be twisted to fit. But this description was spot on, and I find that a little eerie. And it wholly applies to the exercise I'm about to do.
VIRGOS: ...need to be organized in their mind, sometimes all their energy is taken from organizing their mind that they have a difficult time organizing their surroundings. They easily look too deep into an issue and over analyze what the (perceive)...
When I was in college, I was a master of procrastination. I literally spent hours calculating (often the the help of spreadsheets) the minimum grades I would need to get on final exams to achieve certain overall grades in the class. Meanwhile, I could have simply been studying for the tests.
And with that, I shall move on to my story arc outline, and then, hopefully, my eleventh and final Summer I Write submission. Merit Badge, here I come! And then, if all goes as planned, NaNo 2014 will be another installment of the over-developed and over-analyzed Poor Witch saga.

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)
