Has a website!

Hehe is very excited to announce the unveiling of my sparkly new (and extremely simple) website: BeaulahPragg.com

In other news, I had to deal with my first reporting of 'I started reading your book!''Really? Awesome!' 'Yeah, then I stopped. It wasn't really my thing.'

Sigh. Needless to say, I got really depressed for like a whole hour and started questioning the meaning of my existance... Was I really a writer? Maybe I sucked and should go become an accountant!My Boyfriend persevered and tried to talk me through this insanity, while simultaneously asking me why I, who needed so much reinforcement and approval, had chosen to be a writer in the first place. That stung. Further catastrophization ensued until finally I had a bit of an epiphany. If I give up on writing then I won't have any reason to stick with anything else I choose either. I don't actually have to make every single person in the world happy (at least not with this one book). And finally, I will be way happier, and therefore make the people around me happier, if I start doing things because I want to, not because they fit some crazy algorithm for what will make the most people happy with my choice. *Takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly*... sometimes I feel distinctly neurotic =P

Of course, after I figured all this out, I went to a pre wedding party and one of my close friends said 'You know, I started reading the Lord of the Rings and got a couple of pages in and stopped, it just wasn't really my thing.' So there you go. Even Tolkien got that reaction sometimes.

*hugs*
Love,
