My goal is to purchase of a new 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display to aid in my fiction, non-fiction and play/scriptwriting work, as well as the development of my online presence through my website (andyjaybennett.com) blog writing, freelance writing and social media. Development of video, photo and audio production and editing skills to assist in the development and enrichment of my online writing presence, which plays a very large factor in the success or failure of a writer's work in this modern, digital age. Anticipated outcomes include the completed purchase of the 15-inch MacBook Pro and the greater development of skills related to web content - both prose, photo, video and audio through the iLife applications as well as Adobe Creative Cloud.I will evaluate the success of my plan by (a) whether or not I am able to perform a much needed upgrade to my computer system and (b) whether the new computer and development of assorted web and multimedia skills result in an increase of traffic on my website and attention to my work in both printed and online forms.
