Keyword searches

I play with my site statistics.
And I always wonder:

Why are people googling for "BDSM Board game" and what did they think when they found my site?

What was the reaction of the 16 people who googled "Cherokee armbands" and clicked on "Night Run?"

Or those looking for pictures of sparrows in flight who got my blog?

And what were people who wanted the "naughty sample" hunting for? Did they find it?

It's been a stressful year

I've written 232,210 words this year.
That's about 4 whole novels.
Except that I did a fair bit of it as short stories and finishing novels and novellas.
And I have 2 half-novels on my hard drive.

So, I bang them out (29K, 26K) and do my NaNo (50K) and finish the short stories, and I'll have about 350,000 by the end of the year.
Not quite the half-million I was trying for, but not too damn shabby.

Notice: when you lose country music...you're a goner

It's not just fringe guys like Steve Earle and James McMurtrie speaking out anymore. It's not the easily-ignored, heavily vilified Dixie Chicks.

"Burning up the atmosphere and cutting down the trees
The billion dollar bombing of a nation on it's knees
Anyone not marching to their tune they call it treason
Everyone says God is on his side."
