Heres a conundrum. When I write my books and other stuff, I never wonder about whos going to read any of it. But when I sit in front of a Facebook status, or other such online thingity, Im always wondering about it. (No, this isnt a lead-in to one of those post telling how you met me in one word posts.) Its just something I wonder. Who reads this stuff? The hundred or so people who respond regularly? (Yes, I see you all, you overachievers, you.) The thousands who are supposedly on my friends list? Others who might be reading on my FB writer page but cant reply directly? And what do they think? Is it like joining a crowd around a particularly weird accident, so you can tell your friends in the break room the next day? You should have seen it! They couldnt do anything to help him -- he was babbling and totally covered in clown pictures. Man, that was messed up.
