Two weeks in

The Total Turtle Tea Trolley has been going strong for about two weeks. I think people either really, really like it or are really, really turned off by it. Readership is flat, at about 10-15 readers a day, and I know four of the readers. Everyone I know who is from my "literary community" -- the people I went to writers' workshop with, the people in whose magazines I was published -- has been conspicuously silent about it, and I can understand why -- no plot, no characters, no story arc. Not exactly Henry James, or even Norton Juster. Ephemera.

I'll keep going, though. I like writing the things. And it beats hustling pool.
