As you by now are probably aware, I am something of an addict to checking what people are reading on this blog.

One of the ways I keep on top of what people are interacting with, and how they are discovering it, is by monitoring the search engine words and phrases that are bringing visitors to this website.

Today I noticed an interesting phrase that had delivered just one, solitary, search engine visitor to this website: “reflections of life blog“.

This person must have been looking for other people who, like me, post blogs about their lives.

When I ran “reflections of life blog” through Google’s search engine, I was surprised, and just a little delighted, that this website showed up on the second page of results.

This is probably because my blog’s tag line is “Short Stories and Reflections on Life, from Joseph Elliot.”

Which brings me to today’s point. I have not been posting many – read any – short stories. In fact, I have not posted any short stories since launching this website!

That is not because I have not been writing, oh no, au contraire, it’s because I’ve been writing too much. So much, in fact, that I have not had time to produce any short stories that are of sufficiently high standard for me to want to put them out for your free enjoyment on this website.

So I’m sorry, but you’ll just have to wait a little while for that!

For now, however, you must content yourself with my reflections on life, or, more appropriately, my reflections on search engine phrases people have used to deliver themselves to those reflections…
