That's it exactly!! All the "I SHOULD" stuff!! I wonder if that's part of our genetic female makeup or part of the Writer Personality? I SHOULD be blogging. AND writing. AND *fill in the blank with the thousands of other things we feel guilt over when we aren't doing them!* ~ Melissa Oh my gosh, Julie! That’s it exactly!! All the “I SHOULD” stuff!!

I forgot today was release day! Mega congrats!! I definitely have someone do the design and basic creation, but I really like to do the updates myself, for a few reasons. Being a total computer idiot, though, it's talking us some time to come up with a system that I am able to use easily. I agree re: what I want to see on a home page, I want books covers and easy links to excerpts. I always like to read who gave quotes and what they had to say, too, but I don't know if that's because I'm a writer. I do NOT like fancy graphics and whatnot that take a long time to load. Congrats on another what I'm sure will be another wonderful release! I'm off to the store tomorrow to pick it up. :-) Melissa~

What a wonderful day for you. It's too late in the day to get your book, but you can bet I'll be getting as soon as I can. Last year, I started a MySpace blog, BUT did not keep it up. It took too much time! And I felt guilty dong it. Same thing with Facebook. I was go ing to concentrate this year on learning to set up a web site, but most times I feel guilty---like I should actually be writing instead of doing the 'business' end of it. Kind of like putting the cart before the horse. Julie Congratulations, Melissa! What a wonderful day for you.

I seriously think people with blogs work much harder than people with websites. Especially considering how I whine about having to update my website every couple of months!!!! :-) ~ Melissa So true, Sarah.

My B&N was OUT, so I'm headed to the next town down the road to get your book tonight. It's on hold. As for websites, I haven't changed mine since I put it up. My bad. And my favorite author's site is Julie Garwood's. I'm told it was done with a pretty pricey program, so one day, if I ever get to that book six contract, I'm going to have mine done in a similar way. Love yours, too. How could I not love something with plaid? Also, I'd rather you spent your time writing for me instead of updating your website. Let go and Let a pro, baby--at least for the updates. Melissa, Congratulations!

Happy release day! I enjoyed your interview over at Micole Black's blog! Don't you just love her questions?! :) I don't have a website, but it is one of my goals this year. I'd love to have it up and running by Dec. Just managing my blog seems to take forever! I'm kind of scared to see what an actual website would take. Yikes! I really adore a feature on Monica McCarty's website. She has a "Special features" page where she shows the pics of her trips to Scotland researching the castles and lochs mentioned in her books. It was very fascinating! Another page element I really liked was on a mystery writer's site. She had pics taken of her critique group in action. She even listed their names and genres. Very cool! Great post, Melissa! Let's face it, a website or blog is just another place for us to feed our need to accessorize. LOL But, oh, what fun!!! :) Hi Melissa!
