Got a face lift
Welcome to 2008. Just got a face lift for my blog. I find it vibrant, activating, curly 
The theme is called ‘Forever Autumn’ and there’s something about this symbolically, the shedding of what has become past its useby to allow for new directions.
And there also something playful about autumn leaves, the nostalgia of kicking leaves, their rustle and movement… I’m a leaf throwing and leaf shredder and twig snapper, so guess I’m rather autumnal (had a painting called autumnal and many of my paintings have autumnal colors. Funny thing about being born in the Spring in Australia, when I lived in the UK I was suddenly an Autumn baby! Anyway, looking forward to 2008 and all the creative madness that may come with it. Hope yours is surprising too. Warmly,
author, artist, composer, screenwriter

Hi Donna,
I love the new design. It is nice to see a more vibrant look than the Kubrick skin of your predecessor.
Happy New Year,
Stuart.
Simply lovely, Donna! Autumn is a lovely time of the year. I smiled when I saw this new look; seems to reflect you quite well.
This is my first time visiting your personal web pages. I’m not going to read them because I can tell immediately that they’re going to make me more sick. I found out about you from your first book, Nobody Nowhere. I’m currently (and somewhat slowly) reading your sequel, Somebody Somewhere. In the beginning of that book you disclosed your motivations for working as a tutor and said that you took credit for being a martyr when actually you were trying to protect yourself. I’m here to tell you that I’m the martyr, or the first of many martyrs to which you were unconsciously referring and whose credit you were taking and enjoying: as you’ve become more whole, I’ve become autistic - slowly but surely. So, I hope you can understand my motivation for looking at your books as well as my anti-motivation for examining your websites: mere damage control in a future of nothing but pain. I don’t want to commit suicide. I’m seriously considering checking myself in to a well-known mental hospital in spite of the fact that I’m unquestionably unprotected from continued systematic psychiatric abuse and censorship at this point. I cannot hope for anyone who works for the psychiatric industry to take what I’ve learned seriously (they have no motivation at this point), and there is truly no reason for me to trust them at this point, either. Life will never be anything for me again but a ripoff. Of that I have no doubt.
I wish what I am saying were untrue. It’s a long story and I’ve been alienated from the only people who could be expected to believe it. I don’t want my story to go untold but I don’t see how it CAN be told at this point.
At any rate, don’t feel too guilty. There are many souls who are much worse and more undeserving than yours. I’m just very hurt to be very hurt and know what I know. I’m glad that you’re better. I’m sad that it was at my expense as well as being at the expense of souls much more refined than yours or mine.
