Well, someone other than me has just laid their eyes on my novel, and after having read ten pages declared "It seems like a book." Not a bad start. I'll take that.
My goal is to finish refining it by fall.
In other news, I frequently check Google Analytics to find more ways to procrastinate. It organizes information about my blog - most of which I think is bogus. I know someone once typed in a string of nonsensical words that all appeared on my blog and that query came up many times in Google Analytics, so either there are a lot of weird people out there, or...
Anyway, I present you with the top Google queries that send people to Halfcute.com:
(1) Harvard Lampoon
I devoted much of my early blogging time to chronicling my adventures with this set of folks, all of whom I resent for getting sitcom writing jobs. Luckily, I've moved on.
(2) Quarter Life Crisis
This is very logical.
(3) Stephan Jenkins
No comment.
(4) Natalie Portman boyfriend
(6) "Harvard Lampoon"
I'm thinking I should start a new blog devoted to the Harvard Lampoon.
(8) ric pooping savage half thai doctors arcadia
I believe I mentioned the inaccuracy of the reporting.
(9) unemployed schedule
(11) unemployment schedule
(12) natalie portman
(13) dr. spaceman
(17) natalie portman 2009 boyfriend
(25) graduating college a virgin
(26) harvard lampoon party
(29) natalie portman boyfriends
(30) natalie portman's boyfriend
(39) virgin out of college
(41) harvard lampoon + job
(65) tina fey's midget boyfriend
(68) virgin entire life
(82) harvard lampoon party
(83) "harvard lampoon'
guess somebody made a typo. good luck getting into Harvard
(85) "ivy plus society ridiculous"
i like it when people inject their opinions into Google searches. Nice.
(88) "natalie, i'm fascinated with the way you go back and..."
I'm pretty sure this sentence never appeared on my blog
(94) quarterlife crisis + virgin
(131) can INTJ write screenplays
This might be my personal favorite question, seeing as I am an INTJ and I write.
(186) - (191) more variations of harvard lampoon
(224) "Is it possible to speak to Vince McMahon?"
The answer is NO.
(254) middle-aged men on Facebook
(361) Stanford Lampoon
Uh, what?
(405) Why do we wet our pants when frightened?
(425) You're a virgin.
IN CONCLUSION:
To maximize hits, I should readjust my blog to follow Natalie Portman's dating life, the Harvard Lampoon, or address the out of college virgins finding their way here.
Also, some people think searching Google is like having a conversation. It's not. I blame Jeeves.

AHAHAHAHAHA. See, if I were to describe your blog...none of those things would ever come to mind. That's too funny.
(Of course, half the people who search out my blog get there by Googling "pee pee teepee", so I don't really have room to laugh.
Funny. Google queries are a fun way to see your writing mirrored back at you. I have to say the stuff that comes to my site is pretty different!
The top queries:
mike turitzin (oddly enough)
free will does not make sense as a concept
writing a personal review
faith as a way of knowing
"a fully realized person"
fully realized person
mastering a skill
when you don't know what you want
avoid naysayers
critique of selfish gene
enjoying time off work
importance of passion in music
... and so on.
