Many of you know that I am writing a book. In fact, all of you reading this know, because I just told you.

What you may not know is that I am taking a break from writing the book for a few months. This is a calculated move that my agent and I agreed on because we are wily and crafty. Also because I need to get a bigger readership.

Phase I of the plan was to increase readership at Prayers For Blowouts, which has been happening since I’ve added 6 new writers to the site. So far, so good.

Phase II was for me to give my personal homepage a face-lift. Most of you have probably never actually been there, but it was time for a change.

I’m happy to say that this afternoon I finished the redesign and it’s now live. The sections on my writing, speaking, and well, basically everything have been updated. The picture on the front page is from a few months ago.

(I’m actually about 10 pounds heavier in that picture than I am now, but oh well. What’s 10 pounds when you have the Brooklyn Bridge as your backdrop?)

Check it out if you have a second while I move on to Phase III. (and by “move on to Phase III” I mean “figure out what Phase III is”)

ps…if you see any typos or bad links, let me know.

I like what you did, keeping the width of the text on the right the same, but that makes your blog seem more important than everything else. Is that what you want?

yeah, sort of. it just so happens to be the shortest word, so it gets the biggest font. but it’s at the top because it’s the most important part of the site. and if “contact” was the shortest word, i probably would have done it differently.

(did you notice i even gave you some link love in the “about” section?)

I hadn’t, but … thanks! :)
