New Site to look at

Here's a great way to sell a book online. It's unique, creative and hasn't been done before. It breaks the rules - so many rules - and I love that. It's not safe, it's not standard, it's not "what's done" for an author site. It's what's done by a creative girl.

I think sometimes creative people (myself included) can be afraid of bursting outside the box. We stick to a formula that works (look at how many blogs look the same) or we want a formula to be successful (#1 question I'm asked - what do I do to be a successful artist? Or just look at the 1-2-3 self-help books). Or sometimes all we look at (out of our own sense of habit or lack of creativity elsewhere) is the same old same old so which can make it hard to become inspired and take a new risk.

That's why I'm loving Miranda July's new site - it's just helped me look at things very differently and to not be afraid to step outside the (3 column) box.
