La Bene Vita

by Brandiwyn🎶 v.2026

Rated: 18+ · Book · Personal · #1411600

The Good Life.

You Are Welcome Here
Life is good. Let's share it.

New Year, New Strategy
For 2026, I launched a weekly topic rotation designed to help me stay d i s c i p l i n e d while ensuring that you, the reader, always know what to expect. Unfortunately, I have yet to acquire a million followers

and gain official WDC "influencer" status, and I often find myself seduced by whimsy. Thus, my blogging strategy continues to evolve.

So, What Can I Expect?
I'm glad you asked. For now, until whimsy strikes again, here's what you can expect:

Subject Sundays
I'll publish an educational and/or discussion-provoking article, probably on one of the following subjects:.

Music & music education

The art and business of writing

Owning & managing a small business

Science & technology

Main Character Mondays
I'll establish goals every Monday and touch base about family, work, health and leisure.

Tuesdays through Fridays
I'll work on and update weekly goals. When I check off completed writing goals, I'll share the fruits of those labors, if applicable. These posts are likely to include blurbs about my day and the occasional rant, although I try to post rants at "What the Fork?"

* I can only commit to one review per week. If you would like your short story to be in my reviewing queue, please send me a WDC review request.

Check out my public reviews

to get a sense of what to expect.

It's not so much the snow that's the problem, it's the ICE.

In response to "Voice returning! "

I know I've lost some weight here in Thailand. I'm happy with that because it's probably due to walking. I do understand the concern over unhealthy loss of weight.

Last night I watched two young men play the wode (that circular pan pipe from this region).

In response to "Left on Laptop"

I hate it when I start writing something on one laptop and then realize when I'm on my other laptop that I forgot to save it.

In response to "February - & 2026 Is Still Evolving"

Scatterbrained, as usual. Juggling the 28 entries for "The Soundtrack of Your Life"

always throws off my brain; I find it hard to switch between fiction and nonfiction writing

I'll manage: I always do

In response to "Left on Laptop"

Lookie what I found on my laptop when I came downstairs this morning! Evidence that I did in fact establish these goals at 2:43 PM on Feburary 2, 2026 before tearing out the door and speeding off to work, in case the goal police are after me.

In response to "Tone, Whimsy and an Editing Verb Bank Idea"

hoMEOWner

One possibly issue among asking AI to quantify your verbs for flavor is that it is also trained on the internet, which is the worst of all possible bullies. Whimsy isn't necessarily a good thing to it. AI can be introduced to brain rot by reading twitter but they haven't figured out how to fix it afterward.
