Be honest!
I chose the “messy desk” when I was preparing to launch The Immortality Virus because I couldn’t decide if I was a scifi writer or a fantasy writer, but I know my desk is always messy. The real trouble I have with the messy desk theme is the cup of coffee off to the side. Every time I see it I think, “That’s so not me!” I don’t drink coffee, which might not be a big thing, although there is a lot of tea drinking in my new Cassie Scot series.
As for genre, Cassie Scot adds romance to the mix, making it even more difficult to choose a theme based on genre, so I’ve decided to ignore that. Now, I’m thinking about natural themes (since I’ve become something of a naturalist) or colorful themes or maybe soft, mysterious themes.
So, should I change my theme?
Yes change the page, it’s not you, or your genre, which cannot fit in a small space.
If you feel like it doesn’t fit you, you should definitely change it up. Everyone needs change every once in a while.
Thanks! I think you’re right. My husband and webmaster thinks it’s a good idea, too, but he also wants me to move away from wordpress, so it may take a while to switch over. I’m not as bothered by wordpress as he is, but it’ll be a good time to change my theme as well.
