Clarification...

I should say, I used to have a website through GoDaddy, but it was very basic and never really helped me in any way. Now they all have droplets and videos and slide shows and nonstop graphics, none of which I can do. Nor do I want to. I want someone to do something complex and lovely, like this...sketching with light...for free.

Isn't that just my way?

I've settled on a graphics designer for my covers. So I've been pulling together the information I want to go on them...front, spine and back. The log line under the title on the front, a short synopsis and couple of review quotes on the back, with some credits for who did the design and my company logo.

Price is a lot better than I thought it would be. I was hoping to hear from some people in Houston before I settled, but they haven't gotten back to me, yet, so it's decided. I still have a change to make to the cover style, but overall...it'll be good. And is a lot better than I could have come up with.

I dug through the reviews I got through BookLife...and one comment stopped me cold. From New World For Old...Again, the narrative voice is intimately insistent, touched with music, frank about dark feelings and events...

That helps minimize my insecurity about what I've done with this story. My self-confidence is not great, here, and reminding myself of what others have said about it wipes away a lot of doubt.

I dug a bit more into the service that will work up a website, in WordPress, and found I already have the level of service I need for them. Of course, they're also offering a dozen other things to make it all better, but I want to see how this turns out, first. GoDaddy talked me into spending hundreds of dollars for things than I could not make use of.

Of course.
