Not that I mind, really. Look at Miley Cyrus. I covered before what a mess this past year has been for her and how that's only reaffirmed my belief that Hollywood sucks the souls out of little girls. Now somebody has released a photo of Miley in a wet t-shirt taken in the shower. It's an old photo, and hardly anything to get alarmed about, but looked at in a timeline one can see the progression. I don't want that for my daughter, so I lock her in a box and let her out only on the weekends. No, I kid. It just feels like that for her. I merely laugh when she complains.
Speaking about Miley, I cannot believe the amount of traffic this site gets because of that article I wrote. I also get a kick out of the comments Miley fans leave. They are a fun group to tease. I am the Devil to them, apparently. And here I just thought I was writing about how fixated and panicked I was as an ADHD father of a budding entertainer. I imagine that most of the people coming across my site must be sorely disappointed. They're looking for shockingly nekkid photos of Miley and all I have are clothed ones.

I am bothered a bit that my stats are so high for those two subjects but I'm glad that my blog's long tail is made up of searches for ADHD and Depression related topics. Google is an amazing thing. Although I've been exploring ADHD a great deal recently, I've recently been fighting with Depression, so I hope to write more on the subject very soon. More content for the long tail. It's all good.
As a final note, and a more personal one, I received word back on "Sneaker's Secret" in the mail on Monday from an agent. Alas, it was a rejection. However, it was nicely worded and filled with good suggestions. I am happy to be at the point in my writing where editors and agents take time to comment my rejection as opposed to simply sending me a form letter or laugh tracks on disc. Since I am so busy at the moment, I will mail the story around a bit more. If consensus matches what this agent wrote, then I know what I can start working on in September. Otherwise, I will hope to get lucky with the manuscript and continue working on my new novel.
Thanks for reading. I love reading your comments, even the ones where you accuse me of being evil, a bad parent, and a Miley hater, and I hope to resume a more normal publishing schedule very soon.
