I am new to blogspot. I have no idea what I am doing really, but I am having a blast! Something funny happened to me today and what else but to post it here, huh?
I have only had one comment on my blog, and it was from David Southwell. It was a nice comment, it's public, so I guess you can see it too. It was about my post called Mothers.
I don't know how people find other blogs, other than randomly, and I don't know how to publicize mine (which is fine because at this point, I wouldn't want to). So I found it hysterical (and a bit embarrassing) that David Southwell was the first and only person to view and comment on my blog.
I believe that things do happen for a reason. I have been looking for a new author to love lately. I've recently had a baby, I am home from work for a spell and I am bored with what I usually read. It turns out that David Southwell writes about topics I am interested in (although conspiracy theories and organized crime aren't listed in my interests) and after reading his blog, I liked him.
So I emailed and thanked him for his visit, apologized for my poor writing skills, put in an obvious request for feedback on my work and congratulated him on recent accomplishments. I am not sure if he'll respond to me again or not, but either way, this was a cool experience for me.
(Edited 10/4/06 8:35 am, David responded to my email with a beautiful and encouraging message this morning. I was thrilled and excited to hear from him again. Big fan! Big fan! I will devour all the books I can find of his, beginning today!)
If you are looking for something new to read, check out David Southwell at English Dreaming, English Rain. (One day, I'll learn how to make this a link)
Or maybe, David, you are the only one reading!

hey there...talk about random...I accidentally erased my online history & couldn't recall the link to David's blog, so I did a search on Blogger & Your blog popped up, regarding this post. How funny indeed. Anyway, congrats on your newest addition. Blogging & reading seem to be excellent pasttimes for a new mom...keep writing. It is very cathartic (and cheaper than therapy!).
Have a glorious day!

Hi.
I can really relate to you, because David happened to leave a comment on my obscure (well, at least I thought it was) blog as well.

And he didn't hesitate in typing out an encouraging comment.
The other funny thing is that I'm an animtor working on a project called The Man Eating Tiger. I have a production blog for that also, here:

I find it very ironic that your blog is called Taming the Tiger and as you might notice from my posts on maneatingtiger, these kind of coincidences have been happening more often recently.
I'm not superstitious, but even I'm starting to believe that things happen for a reason.
It was nice to read your post.
