me: i SO want to redesign my website
b/c it’s a project i can undertake and actually FINISH
and SEE the results
John: or

…
but also, “new year, new look!”
it would make so much sense :D
John: or

Bahahahaha.
Still, redesigns are always nice ;)
I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be tempting you…
Yeah, I mean, if you want to hold the site redesign out as a cookie for yourself, go for it. But the two really have nothing to do with each other. How long will a site redesign take? A few days? At most a few weeks? And how long will writing a novel take? I’m thinking six months? And is there any reason these things can’t be tackled simultaneously for however long it takes to redesign the site? I don’t really see the conflict here. I see distracting yourself with a new novel idea as problematic to getting any book written EVER. But redesigning your website? Meh. So set the plot up a bit more for me, okay?

Evil temptress!

They have nothing to do with each other except for using up my time. But you’re right that a website would take days vs. a book’s months. And no worries, he didn’t mean a NEW new book. Just finishing the one I’m working on now.
Sorry! :P
:) hehe. I like the way John thinks. You always need a friend like that!
Haha — good man :)
I say NEW YEAR FINISHED BOOK! Erin wants to reaaaaad it!
I’ll take it one step further: NEW YEAR, NEW BOOK, NEW BOOK DEAL!
:D
CRACKEd up, seriously, where is this new book so I can get to promoting it??
Erin and Angie-
I’m on it!
Shari-
OH YES PLEASE! :D
:) What about both? A little designing, a little writing, designing, writing, etc……
I feel like I have that conversation with myself every week! I’ve been “in the middle” of having my site redesiged for a year now. Same with revising my book!
Joelle-
Haha, yeah, that’s how it’s been going… I think I’m going to keep sketching out the redesign (mentally and literally) until I’m completely happy with it. THEN I will commit the time to coding it.
Meghan-
Well if you find any spare time, I vote for working on the book over the website. ;)
Resist the temptation! I always think it will take days, and then one week gets swallowed, then another… LOL I agree with John, new year new book :D
I would like to redesign my site, but I really don’t know how. I need to get graphic design savvy. :(
Good luck with the book. Agreed that it’s probably a better use of time, haha.
Kristan – well since my web designer is MIA, that won’t be a problem!
