You’re welcome Mr Tinspector. Like love and trans-fat-free buttery spread your novella is worth spreading around, so I did. But don’t get excited about capturing a whole fresh new audience. Sitemeter tells me I average a mere 30 readers a day, some of whom get here by Googling ‘child bride’ (I wish I was joking) and are clearly looking for the opportunity to Google one in the flesh; at least one got here by a search for ‘fizzing noise in the ears’ (http://problemchildbride.com/blog/?p=39); and one of whom is an enormously disturbed llama-fetishest, aka my friend Tom (http://problemchildbride.com/blog/?p=48). Some linger, some don’t. But if I can’t provide them with the mental tea and biscuits they desire, I’ll send them to someone who can.
Wotcha Mom101! That’s one of the images that unseated my soul too. If you want to know what “5 tons of futile admonishments” falling on a bloke called Chuck look like (and oddly, I do), his is the site to find it. Liked your
‘Poetry Suckitude’ post a lot, baby!

30 a day is more than none a day!
You’re not far behind me, as I usually have between 20 and 40 hits a day meself.
Blogging is a bit like pissing in the ocean. Its hard to make a noticeable effect when your salty water is so much like all the rest.
