I don’t write traditional resolutions anymore, but I do give myself a personal watchword for the year. Last year’s was Time, as in think carefully about how I spend my time. This year, I’m thinking of Grace, as in a disposition to show kindness or compassion.
And I make writing/career goals. This year, my least favorite goal is updating my website.
I like my website (www.lynnlovegreen.com), and Wix makes it fairly easy to work with. I know authors are “supposed to” update or refresh their websites on a regular basis, and I agree it’s an excellent idea. Good so far. But the choices are overwhelming to me. Should I create a new theme, or does the old one still fit my author brand? Are the pages or sections in the best order? Should I drop one, or add another page? Or tweak my social media links? Where do I even start?
I confess this is one of my 2023 goals that I dragged over to 2024. One of these days, I need to stop procrastinating and just dig into it. Right now, it’s on the to-do list. Maybe I’ll get around to it before the snow melts? 😉
Do you have any goals you keep putting off? Or do you have any website advice for me? Please drop a line in the comments.
