What a freaky thing to have happen. I love your post. You are so right about it being wonderful to have others read your work. I feel the same way and always feel terrible when I don't get back to replying to those who take the time to comment on my blog, like you!

I had thought those were shallow relationships based on a passing interest. I still wonder if the list of friends ARE friends. My author buddy has a few thousand 'friends' and it takes her a long time each day to check who is doing what. However, I have discovered gems of friends in the blogging and facebook world. I recently joined IWSG and look forward to developing and strong connection with everyone. Thank youF.
