Bruxomania- The act or practice of grinding one's teeth
As in today I had a bout of bruxomania.
I think many writers dream of the day when accolades and recognition come their way. Besides the satisfaction of admiration from the reading public more than a few of us would like some monetary compensation to go along with it.
So I often wonder, what would I do with a wad of cash as relates to my writing life? I would, of course, invest in some advertising and promotion first of all. But the very second thing I would do for myself would be to hire a professional to take care of my website.
I like having a website. When I first put it up I was so proud I did everything by myself, slogging along and figuring it out as I went. At worse, I did get it up and running. Since then I've learned a few more things. As I pick up new pieces of advice or have a new book release, I try to improve it. Mostly I'm stumbling around in the dark. And I'd rather spend my time on my blog or best of all, spend it writing.So today, I worked for three hours trying to make improvements on my website. I set up some new links, tried to clear out some clutter and made a page for the short story I'm going to post soon. It all went pretty smooth until I tried to update my Navbar. It's still not quite right and I can't figure out why. Another day I'll swear, I mean work at it some more.
I did complete my short story that is a prequel to The Keepers of Sulbreth. Tamarin's Story is in the hands of a reader so hopefully I'll have it up by the end of the week.
How many of you do your website yourself? How often do you update it?
