The marketing guy who is helping promote my books (or, I should clarify, will be helping me promote my books, as currently he is in the process of starting to start thinking about maybe helping me promote my books) mentioned that a banner across the top of my website might be a nice touch.

It might! I honestly haven’t put a lot of thought into it… my website, such as it is, exists because it’s an expectation of the writing career. This place exists, not for me, but for everyone who wants to find my work or likes my books and wants to help support me and my endeavors.

That’s cool, and all, but it means I don’t think of it as an “arm of my writing career” or whatever. It exists by necessity, and because of my particular mix of neurochemicals, that means I’m going to do it well. Because I don’t half-ass things… like… ever. I don’t know if I’m capable of half-assing. It’s whole ass or no ass.

But that stated, having someone who is trained in such arcane arts as “marketing” and “A/B Testing” and whatever is very useful because I don’t think about that stuff. Marketing and advertising are firmly in the “no ass” realm of my life. They’re intimidating and byzantine, and so I’ve avoided them.

Anyway, all this made me realize that I also don’t really have a clean way to link my podcast here… something else I’ll have to think about. But the banner… I’mma have to give that some thought, especially because now I have other technical doo-dads linked in with these pages. Ugh. Unraveling the decade worth of work I’ve put here could be tangled.

Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
