Tuesday

Launch one new Potbelly song per week.
On hold until I get my voice back.

Write one new original song per month.
Pending.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Fail...

Write one Textbroker article per week.
I let last week's article go, so, fail.

Submit one short story/article per month.
Goal met.

On the topic of publication, I had The. Most. Ingenious. Revenue. Idea. Ever.  Here's the plan: I am going to publish a series of music instruction books for piano, guitar, bass, drums, and voice.  Then, when I teach private lessons, I'll sell my own books to my students instead of some other publisher's books.  I can do that, because I'm the teacher!  I can make them buy whichever book I want them to buy.  I already have the software to do it, too.

Brilliant.

I'll start with the guitar and bass books, because I'm teaching Keith how to play guitar and bass!   He's practiced for a couple hours every day for the last several days.  That's so fun.

Work for fifteen minutes on "Poor Witch"  [E] every day.
Fail.

Complete and edit "Poor Witch"  [E] by 6/30/09.
In progress.

Read a book in print for fifteen minutes every day.
Fail... okay, fine, so I left all my books at my house.  I dug through Abby's room and broke out a handful of Junie B. Jones books.  Hey, they're books in print!   It's all educational for a writer.  In fact, these Barbara Park books are really popular.  I read them with my ex's daughter, Julia, and she adored them.

Resign from Abbott by 12/1/09.
I'm saving, I'm working, I'm plotting.
