I am thrilled to again have the opportunity to appear on Jane Friedman’s Writer’s Digest blog There Are No Rules.  In this guest post, I blog about blogging, and meeting a far-away blogger friend in person, and I probably use the word blog way too often, but there it is.  I share the story of what I did on summer vacation, a trip where I met the lovely Judy Clement Wall, and how surreal it can be to make the connection between the cyber and the physical.

I have appeared on There Are No Rules once before, and it is always exciting.  Blogging can take a great deal of time.  For me, so far, the investment has been worth it.  Writing is a journey, and I have found so many wonderful traveling companions…

Here it is again:  a quick round-up of search terms that curious people seeking answers to life’s nagging questions typed into their search engine of choice and ended up on my blog instead…

“Jane Killborn”    (hard-core gore thriller author Jack Kilborn‘s eccentric aunt?)

“how to get dogs and cats to get along”    (remains a mystery to all of us….)

“daily mirror cartoon jane”   (can I speak in word bubbles?  That would be fun.)

“guinea hen cooked in pig bladder”   (Cool! I actually talked about that one…)

“something important”   (isn’t that a rather vague search phrase?)

“candid tween”  (I get a lot of visitors with that one)

“find my head”  (if you lose your head, can you find it online?)

“zebra sounds”  (being a fan of blogger/author Judy Clement Wall is lucrative)

And, what remains the most popular random link that googlers follow to reach jane, candid??

“pre-wash cycle”

Yes, where upstanding citizens looking for real advice on how to operate the pre-wash cycle on their dishwasher instead find pictures of my dog licking the plates…

As a writer, one likes to think that people visit said blog on purpose — but if I get a candid tween obsessed, guinea hen cookin’ pet whisperer who lost her head because the dishwasher pre-wash was broken?  I’ll take it.  All are welcome.
