Blasts from the past

I’ve been reading through my old Livejournal and Blogger blogs, archiving them to my desktop in case they someday go away forever (beware the perils of not owning the site that hosts your content!). A lot of my posts are just me making fun of various old comics, but some of them I think are worthy of keeping alive. So, I’ll probably be re-posting some old stuff. They’ll all be new to this blog, but if you’ve been following me for a while some of my upcoming posts may look kind of familiar. I’ll put a nice new spit ‘n’ polish on them, though, just for you! Stay tuned…

Web site redesign

I’ve spruced up the joint! I’ve completely redone the website for 2015, ditching that old, generic WordPress theme that made it look identical to a million other websites. In addition to the cosmetic changes (pretty!), I’ve completely revamped the Books pages, with much more information, downloadable sample chapters and easier purchase links, I’ve cleaned up the Newsletter, About the Author, and Contact pages, made the Sidebar and Menu easier to navigate, and even added a Works in Progress page, where you can keep tabs on what’s coming your way in the months to come.

I think it looks pretty great – what do you think? There’s always room for improvement, and I’d love any feedback you might have to offer.

Happy New Year!

Site changes

Hiya! I’m making a few changes to the site, so things might look a bit odd until it’s all sorted out. The biggest change is I’m bringing my blog back, and putting it front and center here on the home page. For the time being, everything here will continue to show up on my Tumblr blog, Peace of Cake. I’m pretty active over there, so if you’re a Tumblr user, please follow me – in addition to writing about writing, I post funny stuff from comics, Doctor Who, and other geeky endeavors.

Over here, I’ll keep it strictly related to the world of writing. That doesn’t mean it’ll just be a place for to hawk my wares, but I’ll be keeping the out-of-context panels of Batman saying something gay to a minimum.

The first thing I’ll be doing is importing any relevant posts from Tumblr over here, including my series Ten Thoughts on Disney, in which I watch every Disney feature film from the beginning and offer up some quick comments. I’ll be attempting to post-date these, so – if I do this correctly – they won’t show up as “new” posts. Be sure to check the archives if you’d like to read them!

I’ve added a sidebar with links to my mailing list and my books – it’ll only show up here, the rest of the site continues as is. If you’ve got any suggestions on how to further spruce up the place, please let me know in the newly-reactivated comments!

Welcome!

I’ve only just converted this website to a blog format, so things are a little messy. In the meantime, here’s the link to my old directing site – pardon any chaos while I get the bugs worked out…
