Happy Sunday, dear Where Aren't They Now readers! All... dozen of you!
That's what I'd like to talk to you about. I've written 40+ stories so far, but I have some pretty dismal readership. I'm talking numbers here-- those of you who DO read leave awesome feedback and comments. About 4 of you even rate the stories, which I appreciate so much!
Still, I'd love to see if I can pump those numbers up. I'm not ready to shut down the blog yet, but perhaps it's time for another challenge?
Challenge: convince a few people to read the blog. Right now I have 12 readers through the feed-- I'd like to make that 20 by the end of the week. If you like the stories... if you find them funny or interesting or amusing in any way... tell a friend! (And if I can't get 8 more freakin' people to read this blog, perhaps I need to evaluate my stance as a writer.)
I'll post another Young Erica picture + story here if we can make it to 20+.
Note: if you read this blog but not through a feed reader, leave a comment on this post and tell me so. Merci!

A spot of housekeeping + a CHALLENGE!
Hello!
Tomorrow will mark a week's worth of Where Aren't They Now stories. That is a very small milestone but I'll take it.
Visits to the site spiked sharply and then plummeted, which either means people dislike what I'm doing here or they're subscribed through RSS. So, it's either really bad or really good and I have no tools to tell me which it is. Huzzah! If you like what you're reading and what I'm doing, please feel free to leave a comment or email me at redrabbit [at] gmail [dot] com.
For now I've decided to make this blog weekdaily, which is a word I might have created just now. (Dangit! I am so wrong!) This takes a small bit of pressure off of me and plus you have so many crazy awesome things to do all weekend, remember? Like that thing? That you were going to do? On Saturday?
Finally: a CHALLENGE! If I can get... let's say, 10 people to comment on this post, I will post one of my own yearbook photos. (Is this an incentive? I have no idea yet.) It might be interesting for you to see the author at her 3rd grade finest, or whatever yearbook I am able to dig up. If this challenge works out I'll up the stakes with the year I decided that the thing to do was to curl my bangs with a roller every morning. Geezus. It's like I was trying to patent the Forehead Hair Tube™.
