I, too, usually have a bit of fun with the miscellaneous texts. Some are so bold, like "Hey, it's me. I hope you got home safe from that convention."

I play it as far as I can. "It was a great convention." If it goes on too long, I begin increasing the level of weird and inappropriate till they bail. then, a few days later I am like, why have you abandoned me. The eventually ask me to leave them alone.

I seriously don't have the time. I have made fewer articles of late. I am still having an increase in following, but fewer reads. I don't understand that... it was it is. I pushed a book on Amazon. It has sold some copies, but I think I made more money for amazon than I am going to get...

spent today on some cases and on a story i would like to finish.
