I’ve Come a Long Way, Baby

I’m pasting old blog posts from 2 years ago into WordPress and all I gotta say is, I’ve come a long way. I read over some of those posts and I want to edit them! I want to clean up the writing, add hyphens, rearrange sentences and a lot more. I’m not though. They need to remain as a reminder of where I’ve come from. I sure have gotten a lot more serious and ‘about the business’ in my posts though–holy smokes!

One of my first posts surprised me. I forgot what a noob (newbie) I was when it came to the humongous world of writing. I had not a clue. I owe a huge thank you to all those literary agents blogging their little hearts out as well as the community over at AgentQuery. Those two things have been huge in helping me get to where I am today–a better writer who has her head in the game (and knows which room the game happens to located as well).

Updating in Progress

For those of you who are visually observant, you might notice that I changed my banner. I’m suffering (I use the term, loosely) from a head cold, making tough editing decisions a bit more difficult than usual today. Therefore, since I am unusually patient when under the weather, I am tinkering with my website. I’m making the changes I’ve been planning to make for the last 6 months. Who says being sick isn’t a blessing in disguise?

Anyway, I have changed my banner thingy. And there will be a few more changes (maybe even the reappearance of my blogroll! As well as links to my Twitter and Goodreads posts!) while I remove the Dreamweaver aspects of the site and switch the content onto the pages I created here, into WordPress pages. Am I making sense, or am I going technogeek on Tylenol Cold on you? Well, basically, what I am trying to say is that some of the pages you have bookmarked may change. Your RSS feeds, however, should remain unchanged. I will do my best to put ‘forwards’ on the pages I ‘remove’ so your links still work. (Essentially, take the ‘www’ out of your links.)

Wish me luck, I’m going in!

Updates:

* Please note that the email icon at the top now works if you are interested in dropping me a line. No spam, please.

* Website now has a tagline. Man, that was like writing a personal ad.

* Resources page is updated. Also posted a bit of Goodreads stuff there.

* Blogroll is back!

* Redirect should be working from the main site. You should only get WordPress bloggy looking jeanoram.com now.

* Twitter and It’s All Kid’s Play are RSSed in now.

What else? I think it’s good to go. If you notice any issues, let me know! Thanks.

Trim, Trim, Trim Challenge: Update 10

I forgot to post an update last night. I’m at 95, 618 or so. It’s coming down and my critique partners can see the difference. Yay!

I’ve been twittering a bit about the process and word count as I go. I’m jeanoram and you can find me here if you would like to follow me or drop in from time to time.
