building the website

It’s too overwhelming trying to decide what my first blog post should be, so I guess I’m just going to start with the most recent; building the website!

To be honest, I’d say I’ve spent probably around 60 hours building the site as a complete novice. I can’t imagine being an actual web developer and coding these from scratch. There’re so many working parts to developing this site I’d never considered and still see so many steps ahead with various additions. Overall, I’m excited. Designing this was actually a guilty pleasure because of how much I enjoy design. I feel like this should have been a stressful experience, but was super fun! Can’t wait to update it more in the future!

What’s up next for me?

Focusing on social media. I’m definitely not as savvy as I should be, so I need to get back in the saddle and post more and interact with everyone. Believe it or not, I’m actually not an introvert and love talking to people.   

Then, I think I’m going to query a smidge more while I decide the exact route I want to dive in with self-publishing. There’re a few options I’ve explored, but want to solidify my marketing strategy and game plan.

Can’t wait to share more updates. Until the next post!
