Open for Business!

by Beth M on March 21, 2009

I originally thought I’d fling open the WIP doors on April 1st, but I stayed up so late last night watching the Buckeyes (unfortunate loss) to Siena that I managed to get about 95% of the work done here that I wanted to accomplish prior to shouting the news.

Aside from a few minor tweaks that I’m still working on* (such as the custom header being designed and the gi-normous UNCATEGORIZED tag in my tag cloud getting smaller as I go through each and every past post), I’m basically up & running.

Don’t think I’ve just been mired in themes and .css. I’ve been developing good content too. I’ll be kicking off this new place with an article series on Twitter for Writers next week, so get over there ——–> and subscribe yourself now!

I’ll also be hosting a contest based on a contest I just won. OooooOooooh, the mystery. Guess you’ll just have to subscribe for all the juicy details!

If you’re on Facebook or Twitter, check out my sidebar ————> and join me!

Back to the design. Here’s to lots of great posts in the future….

*anyone familiar with the Thesis theme and can tell me: how to color the sidebars and/or how to create an avatar & favicon? I’d be eternally grateful and glad to give a shout-out!

Hey there! By chance, I stumbled across your blog via a link and I really like what you have going on here. It’s always great to meet a fellow writer! I’m actually in the home stretch with my first YA novel right now, so feel free to drop by my page and (hopefully) watch my manuscript inch towards completion.

Also, regarding your recent post on word count: I shoot for 1,000 words every day, but with this third draft I’m working on, the words have been coming slower, I guess because I’m trying to make each sentence count. Frustrating as hell, though, when I don’t hit my daily minimum.

Hard to believe how 1K words can make or break your day, isn’t it? I completely relate.

Good luck finishing the YA novel. As a middle school English teacher, we need more of those!

You can do it :)
