Today I chose to have my writing day off and not write. Instead, I did the house, family thing and reorganized my bookmarks. I’m very organized in that I have specific folders, but each folder contains many site addys. I can’t stand scrolling through a list to find what I want, or worse, bypassing addys I never visit. So I’m going through them, deleting ones I no longer need or haven’t looked at in a year or so. It’s a bitch, boring and time-consuming, but feels great when it’s all cleaned up.
So, tomorrow I will get back to Brody checking up on Lind. 
I’ve also been thinking about my business/writing image. I change the look of my site (and tag) very often. The tag is because I haven’t been satisfied much. I really loved Murder, Magic & Mary Janes, but to me, it is very chick lit, which is what it was designed for. I’m not writing CL anymore, so it no longer fits. The one I have now, Once Upon a Crime…, I really love too. This one may stick–hopefully forever. LOL As for the site design, I believe I just haven’t found my soul yet. Either that, or I really need to consider making designs for others, because I simply like doing them.
With this new tag though, and getting a closer bond to my writing, I’m starting to see I’m not exactly who I may have thought I was. Not me me, but my writing. While I adore reading gritty suspense, with police and serial killers, my writing is softer (with serial killers ).

It makes sense to me that your writing, and with it your writing “identity”, will change over time.
I really like your site design at the moment. And, the tag line is pretty cool too. I’m jealous that you’re so talented and enjoy tweaking these things!!

Thank you, Kathleen. It’s funny because I spent yesterday drooling over Shonna Brannon’s designs. She is much more talented than I am.
