A little surreal
So my book is still selling well. Which is weird. Bestsellers list for a week, even hit #1 in Canada for a time.
And now I get a notification (well, yesterday afternoon, but I was busy and nowhere near anything I can type sensibly on) that I’ve reached 100 followers on this blog!
I expected to sell all of four copies that weren’t to my own mother. I expected that this blog would sink to the bottom of the blogosphere with photosofmytoenailclippings.com (I’m NOT going to see if that’s a real site, because I might discover it’s a popular one and then I will have to cry) and have exactly no readers (hey, I don’t read my own blog – I wrote it, I know what it says!).
It’s very surreal for a shy person who has forever spent their life with never more than a handful of close friends and a number of cordial acquaintances to have an hundred (more if you count Facebook page likes, Twitter followers, Tublr … whatever you do on Tumblr, etc.) people interested in what one has got to say.
I’m not sure what I normal for people to say in this situation, but I’ve never much cared about that. I’m going to go with, simply, thank you.

Sharing some inspired images
Yes, I know, this is more of a Facebook thing. Deal is, I really hate Facebook, so I visit as little as I can. Humour me, please? (And before anyone suggests I could’ve simply twitted these, please bear in mind that it took me over 5 minutes to find the “Post new twit” button, I’m not sure I’m up to the challenge of finding the “Post images” button on Twitter)

I made a Twit!
All by myself, I’ve posted something to my Twitter feed!
I shan’t be doing that again. It was needlessly esoteric.
Yes I know they say it’s called a Tweet, but the root of Twitter is Twit, not Tweet. If it is a Twitter then it is a place where one Twits. QED.
