La Bene Vita

Monday

Reach 300 students at MTMS   by 12/31/11.
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) Blog at MT.com   by the end of Wednesday: Yep.

(2) 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.
