Oh The English Language: Fiery Not Firey

Yet another example how the English language as a whole is just beyond odd; brought to you by the word "Fiery" —

It's a New Month Which Means There's New Changes! (part 2)

Yes this is the same blog! If you're a returning reader, however often you've visited, you've undoubtedly noticed there's been a massive change! We can finally say goodbye to the old eclectic style, which served it's purpose, but alas it's time to say hello to the new-and-[hopefully] improved look of "The Secret Writer". There is a rather clogged menu bar, but alas that's what you get with blogger since it doesn't have it's own menu bar--you've got to create one via pages, and there's no option to hide their headlining previews. However with that issue aside, I feel like I've made "...Secret Writer" much more navigable. Granted I want you to tell me what you think. Did you like the old design better? What could be improved with this design*? Any other comments, questions, or free written opinions are more than welcome. Have fun navigating! And don't forget the menu bar ≡ up top for further information, short stories, etc. And don't forget: Those of you whom aren't returning readers, check out the image of the original look so you can compare the two.


*Keep in mind Blogger restrictions may limit my ability to make certain changes

It's a New Month Which Means New Changes!

What to Expect and What to Look Out For:

1. Have you ever wondered how to navigate The Secret Writer? Or even what it's for? Wonder no more: I've added an 'about my blog' page to "Blog Stuff"! I've also updated and added the following:
2. A new QOTM 
3. Shared images coming soon - mostly writing oriented of course, though I think it's good to play around and have some less-than serious photos of, say, a cat sleeping with his stuffie
4. Possible design change - I've got a few in the works though none that I've been happy about. But I'd like to create a little more organization and more professionalism, and hopefully aid in the visibly-pleasing factor considering I've been told my blog is intimidating to navigate (and I have to agree...and it's my blog!)  
5. I don't think there's a fifth thing in the works, but if something comes along you can guarantee I'll share it!
