Reviewing the search phrases that get people to land here, I see that most of them are, well, mostly sane. And normal. And expected even. Like these ones:
- peregrinas
- Plotcraft software
- plautdeutsch
- top fiction novel
- 100 must-read science fiction novels
- best fiction novels
- love haiku
- laurie ashton
- must read fantasy novels
- top 100 fiction
- 100 must read science fiction novels
Normal so far, right? Then we have
- cow haiku. Yes, I write cow haikus. I write all sorts of haikus. That’s not the point. The point is that I don’t understand why anyone would be searching for them.
- raiph romans. I still get searches on this name. I didn’t know why then, but now, I suspect it’s because I blog about it. 😀 So who/what is raiph romans and why do people keep searching for him/her/it?
