After much debate I have chosen to move my website.
This has been a long time in coming. I haven't been particularly pleased with the paywalls shoved up at the older site for a couple of years now and continually bemoaned my frustrations to my husband until he broke down and suggested I look for something else.
As is often the case, he was right. I was able to locate this site, which conveniently organized my books and made the site look classier and more up-to-date than anything I was able to produce through the old one. I particularly enjoy how user friendly it is, that it includes a Blog area where I can continue to shove random thoughts on writing and book reviews, and that the price isn't exorbitant.
That said, I have exported all of my blog posts from the other site and was reminded just how long I have been there. The posts cover my time as a single parent, going to school full time, working full time, and trying to carve out writing time in the spaces between.
It is humbling to look back on, given that I am now married to a wonderful man who supports my writing endeavors. In the midst of all that really hard work - being a mother, going to school, working a 9-5 - I was able to get words on the page during 20 minute breaks throughout the day.
Basically, I'm spoiled now.
And feel particularly challenged to get back to work.
To those lovely Readers who are following me from the old site - Welcome! You can be certain that the same shenanigans you enjoyed at the old site will be continued here in the new one.
To those lovely New Readers who discover me because of the move - Welcome!
This is a no-judgement space. I don't care what you like to read, I just love that you're reading. If you have book recommendations, feel free to comment. You'll see my recommendations as I write my reviews.
Happy reading, happy writing. And welcome.
