Can you believe it? One-twelfth of 2025 is already behind us. It was a busy start of the year for me, writing- and book-wise, so I thought I’d share the craziness with you in my post today. First, starting in December, I refreshed my website. I installed a new framework and theme. I tweaked colors. I tweaked them again and again. Finally, just last week, I created a new logo.
