First off, I re-did the homepage and menu. I decided on an apocalyptic theme to keep it consistent with “10 Tales of Origins and Extinctions.” I’m trying to keep the site vertical to subconsciously make it more bookish. The power of suggestion can be quite potent. I also erased my sorry visage from the pages. It gives a sense of mystery to this Hamish Dee character, a mystique, if you will.
Presently, I’m working on the Earthenware expansion. I’m fleshing out the pages, altering those I don’t like and adding more options. I’ve been doing it since January, more off than on, and I’ve already tripled the size. When it’s book length, I’ll stop. It will never get transeferred to the site though. The web version is basically a teaser for the book.
Finally, I’ll be giving a public reading in partnership with the White Mountain Writer’s Workshop. It will be at The Greenhouse in Show Low, AZ, April 14th, 7:00PM. Not sure what I’m reading yet. I won’t do any signings, but I’ll do improvised Haikus for $20 each.
