Morning Rant and Some Writing Tidbits

Something I do every so often is run my name through search engines to make sure my website is coming. Primarily my concern is google. I type in my name see that my site pops up and call it good. Well this time I clicked on the link and boy was I surprise (and frustrated and irritated and generally grrrr) when it brought up a very old and crappy “cached” version of my site. What I don’t get is I rebuilt my site I made sure to have google re-crawl my site, but it still didn’t update it, which is rather bizarre. So now I’ve learned to insert noarchive meta tags into the head and I’ve contacted google to remove the offending cached page. So hopefully by next week it will be updated. So on to more pleasant things…writing. I am working in a new scene for Pelegra which is going quite well and I’m very pleased with. No, this one will not show up here, but I believe with enough persistence it will someday–preferably soon–end up in print. I am also so excited for the Willamette Writers conference that I can’t stand it. I met some great people last year, whom I still stay in contact with. If you have never gone to a conference and been surrounded by other people as in love with writing as you are then you are seriously missing out. Even if you can only attend for one day (which is what I did last year) it is so worth your time, money,and effort. I recommend this particular conference to anyone in the northwest or out of the northwest if you are willing to travel. Well I have to go to work now. ~Keep Reading
