Oh, Deb, I love that one.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Hi Deb! I'm glad you're back online. I'm verra excited, btw--I will have a shiny new writing web site in the next month or so!

A private site, a beta site, a publishing site?

Ummm...yes?
I bought my own domain, so a private site, I guess, but I'm going to use it as part of my marketing ploy this year to (eventually) attract an agent.
My hope is to make it interesting enough to get a little following...people who will maybe check in every week or so (I'm going to be self-publishing an essay a week--some humorous, some more serious). We'll see. I'm excited by the prospect, in any case. Finally I'm doing something tangible.
Also, Deena and Dave are collaborating to design and code it, so it looks to be very (extremely, amazingly) pretty, if nothing else.

Hee! Excellence.
I know from excited-over-new-website mode. My treehouse is moving into its very own hosted domain, I've bought us the first year, and Jess is doing all the technical stuff, because she is wondrous.
Happy.

I've been working on something similar for a year or so, Kristin, although I'm thinking of mine as being sort of a magazine with contributors. (The domain name is straightgin.com.) Stoopid working for a living thing, not to mention the whole cancer thing, has kept me from finishing it, but I plan to tackle it again as soon as I finish redesigning my business website. May 2005 be the year that we all make great strides towards our writing ambitions.

YES!
Mine is kristintaylor.net NOT to be confused with kristintaylor.com, which is (shudder) "God bless us! a thing of naught".

Can I make great strides, as in, three more series books sold, and the paperback rights, and the foreign rights (at least UK rights), and the Very Important Person who is looking at "Still Life" buytng it? Some or all of the above?
