Let’s see if I remember everything

By Unknown

Over the weekend, I played a lot with my site. If you’ve popped over here for the past week, you’ve noticed the color changes, the font changes, and watched me play. I’ve done it with my newsletter too. I have to actually “wear” a change for a few days before I decide if it’s a keeper or not and it’s difficult to do changes because I’m constantly back and forth. Before I settled on the gold, white, black theme that I had in the past, I went through a lot of changes then too.

So right now, I’m trying out a burgundy, black, and white atmosphere. I’ve removed the black background from the main site and switched up the widgets on my homepage. I’m trying to bring focus to my books, but also this blog at once. I know, every website designer and marketer would say, don’t do that, choose one focus. Welllllllllll, sorry. I am not that person. I’m different and I need to show my difference. My difference is just that too. I don’t do things like anyone else. I can’t follow in the footsteps of other people and decide that it’s a fit for me. I am original, I’m complicated, and I’m constantly back and forth on what I like and don’t like. It’s just me. So focusing on both my blog and my novels on the homepage is what I’m finding a balance with. My readers of both are both important to me, not marketing to a perfect person. I write my books for me, I write my blog for us both. So as far as I’m concerned, they are both important.

The comments I’m back and forth on. I like the disqus system, but I know some don’t. I think I’ll wait until I get a lot of traffic before implementing the disqus system, but I’ll see.

I uploaded some videos over the weekend on my YouTube channel of the pets. More are coming, but you’re welcome to check them out.

Today I received the flea treatment I was talking about last week. It’s not Avecta, but Advecta. I kept calling it Avecta. So later tonight I’ll be trying out this one. I am crossing my fingers that it does well for the pup pups.

I decided that I’m going to update the DI (Dark Illusions) series covers. Those plain ones I am currently using were the ones I used when I changed to Kim Iverson. I just needed new covers to put something up with my name, I didn’t do much with them. I’m not making anything new per se, I already have but those are being reserved now for the revised books. If you weren’t reading back then, I plan to go through the three in the series, read and revise. The story won’t change dramatically. I wouldn’t change the soul of it, but I do plan to see if there are more details to include. I will have the chance for all the people who currently own the book to get a coupon and download the new edition for free provided you are on my newsletter. I won’t send that coupon out to anyone else.

What I will do with the covers is take the ones I had up back when I used Ariana Browning, and revamp them, update, then add my name. I have them mostly finished right now. Everything is the same but for the font I used for the name and titles. Same with the font color, but I really did enjoy the graphics, so I won’t change those. :) I think the last two covers were the first covers the books had. I don’t think I actually changed those. I’m just gonna give the old ones a face lift and use them for a bit. I’ve always gone after the thriller angle, so I’m gonna try adding a bit of romance into them.

As I work on Anora, I’m discovering new ideas forming. This is where things get interesting. Before I was writing with an idea in mind, now I’m discovering as I go. Lemme think here . . . yeah, no, I can’t think of anything that I have focused on for where I want the book to go from here on in. Blazing a trail now. :p

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c
