People I'm curious about

Making AntSaint's visitor map look like chickenpox since Oct 2005
Good people who for whatever reason come to this site, who are you, and what brings you here? And what's it like where you are?

I want to know who you are... and I have no idea. Could you drop a line, and tell us who you are and what brought you 'round this way?

Places that really get my attention — and curiosity

• New Zealanders, I think around Wellington and Auckland?
• The Canadians who are in some bloody remote places — who are you, around Churchill, and especially, who the are you, my northernmost visitor from... I believe... around the Bathurst Inlet?
• The Icelander(s). Iceland is a place I very much want to visit... must be something about me and proximity to volcanoes...
• In Perth — ah, another city I so want to see... the world's most remote capitol. Sounds like my kinda place.
• In Brisbane... oh wait, I have a pretty good idea who that is, Ms. Gingipants :-)
• In China... around Chengdu? Gads, some of the best food I've ever had was in Chengdu. Sichuan is just about up there with Thai food, for me...
• Whoever you are in the Canary Islands...
• And, above all... whoever you are in the Russian (Siberian?) interior.

Get to know you?
It just goes to show, you never know who's looking at your website.

I just love how global this medium is — people from all over the world, visiting this wee odd site and making my Clustrmap look like a bad case of chickenpox.

Should any of happen back, or, even, if you are one of my Eight Readers, I'd love to know who you are. Please drop a comment or an email, and have a fab day, wherever you are.

Clustrmaps rock, by the way
And, if you'd like your own Clustrmap, they're easy, free, and really, really cool:

It really appears like you have a great deal more than 8 readers. I checked out your cluster map the other day and was like, "Damn, ant's a blog-star!"

Anyway...I guess I qualify as one of your eight readers. And I'm the blob you can see in CT. Although it's kinda obscured by all the other blobs around it.

I'm not from anywhere exotic; I just read out of the good ol' Pacific Northwest (various locations).

I agree with kcidx (is it normal to read that as kidx?) -- it looks like you have many more than 8 readers.

Look, I'll concede maybe 8 1/2, but no more :-)

Should I ever become a "blogebrity," though, I'm hoping it will be a bit more chill than Alex Blagg's daily tongue-in-cheek schedule:

Thanks for reading, you wacky wonderful people :-)

Definitely, yeah definitely, you have more than eight readers... hehe. I like the way it's capitalized now too. As one of your Eight Readers(tm) I'd like to again congrat on the novel. First draft, that is, eh? How soon will the rewrite commence?

Erg, I always do ask the tough questions, don't I?

If you're gonna do it, now's the time. Any time constraints/goals on finishing the second drafrt?

[herbie]

Oops.

[Anthony StClair]

Oops?

Thanks Herbie, the congrats mean a lot. It is... more or less the first draft. I hit the word count, but there's still more drafting to be done. I told Jodie the other day that I figure there's probably another 100 pages or so that actually need to be written - a lot of more back story, a lot more travel bits, things like that, and a hell of a lot more heart too, to round out my characters more.

Still, what I'm thinking, is that during the holidays I'm not gonna touch the draft - that'll give it time to settle out in my head some. After the new year I'm thinking I can come back to it. Maybe even send it out to a couple of poor souls who have said they'd chance a read. And keep on going.

If you find out who's reading your blog in Russia/Siberia, I'll endeavour to find them ;)

Why thank you!
