Uncle Walt was Right

It's been a good week here in dotted Hoyden-land. In the space of 5 days this little thing of mine has gotten attention far and wide. An artist in Christchurch, a novelist in Baltimore (it was total fun to discover how hard it is to say "Laura Lippman linked me") and the good folks at Alabama Ass Whuppin all took the time to say 'good on ya' which makes the world feel smaller in the best possible way. The Web isn't always so welcoming-last year someone used this blog for evil so I can truthfully say I've seen both sides. Kudos and praise aren't why I do it but it sure makes me want to do it better.
