Welp, the website is functional again and the restructure is complete! Now, if you go to the Books menu, you’ll see options to browse by AGE category (middle grade, young adult and adult) as opposed to LENGTH category – and you can select from various novel worlds or short stories etc on the appropriate age-category page. Complete with really pretty graphics! Woo hoo!
Also there is a proper home page, not just my bio, phew!
Hmm. What else is new?
I’ve started Irish dancing again, which I did for a tiny bit before Covid-19 shut everything down and super duper loved. I’ve had two classes so far and it’s so much fun <3
(Oh my gosh it’s Friday evening here and the kids are supposed to be doing their chores, and if their chore list were to include “fight rabidly with each other” they would be DOING AN AMAZING JOB >.<)
Writing has been on hold a bit partly due to health and partly due to The Next Scene Is Hard. I’m really out of excuses as of today though so I need to kick my own butt and go restart that, especially if it’s to be done by the end of July, which I really really really want it to be.
Ooh, I have the print proof copy for On The Origin Of Paranormal Species here! It’s so pretty!! You can see the cover on my site, or you can check out this Instagram reel of the print proof. Om nom.
Also, I decided that I really do own too many books I haven’t read yet (circa 600) and I saw a Thing on the Places where someone had taken their TBR pile, wrapped them all in plain brown paper and numbered them, then drew out a random number to know what to read next. a) I definitely have been experiencing choice paralysis that’s been preventing me from reading, like, AT ALL of late, and b) a visual reminder of HOW MANY UNREAD BOOKS I OWE can only be a good thing for my budget, right? I don’t have the time/care factor to wrap all the unread ones (plus, feels like a waste of paper), so instead I turned them all spine in. I’ll share photos at some point, probably on Instagram next week before I put them up here.
Speaking of which, I really really REALLY want to try to get back to at least weekly blogging here… We’ll see, we’ll see. I miss it, anyway, and think of you fondly and frequently 😀 <3
I think that pretty much covers all the hats I wear – admin (website), writing (blocked but about to be kicked back into gear), publishing (yay pretty print proof!), reading (so many books, y’all, so, so many) and life (dancing, whee! children, shhhhh!) – so Imma call this a successful update for today and go fall over while dinner cooks in the oven 😛 ha.
