Dear Unknowns

I awoke to lovely emails from people in far away lands about my book, asking advice and commenting on my blog. A perfectly perfect way to awake. Which then got me thinking that those nearest to me who I am sure don't read my blog. Maybe I am such an open book that they feel they don't have to, or that this is a different part of me, or....

I saw a secret on Post a Secret recently where a person said, "It pisses me off that my family don't read my blog." I understand. I don't think my mother ever reads it, instead she surfs travels sites and Amazon for new book releases. My sister has never commented so I guess she has never reads it. She never commented once on my book, which had sections about her in it, funny.

Occasionally Blessed Seraph chimes in when time permits with her schedule and Mrs Underhill gives me the cyber nod, and I back to her, to each others blogs, which is nice and supportive.

I know I sound like a shrew but really, when those nearest to you dont say a word about your writing, when you put up your soul online and get nadda in return, it has irked me.

However on the positive side, I did make a close friend out of a regular reader of my blog, Fishgirl. A truer friend I could never have asked for. She is a gem and I hold her in my hand of 5 or so girls whom I would call when I was locked up and needed bail.

When I wrote my book, I don't think many people close to me read it. In fact, I know they didn't. It was actuallly funny to see people skirting the issue.

So this is for the unknowns. Thanks for reading. I am blessed.

I read your blog darling, and I would happily post bail for you, or water your plants and walk your puppies, until you were released .......xox

I remember when i first discovered your blog I kept thinking 'how do i know what suburb this DW lives in?'. I told Gandalf last week and he said that's what a staker does.
Stalker...friend, it all overlaps..! Like my nice neighbours sneaking a note under my door on wed. The line between a stalk and a nice pushy heave-ho into friendship land is close. My brother didn't read my article but they did. Similar hey? xx
