I believe life is a journey, and within that, each of the roles we adopt take us on a path. Some of those paths are direct, others - like my writing - tend to meander a bit.
However I have just made it one step closer to being a professional writer.
No, I haven't been published in a major magazine or literary journal (soon though, I hope).
No, I haven't accepted a contract to write my memoirs or become a columnist for a national paper.
I have been spammed.
The other day I received a comment from 'Sammy' on my post 'It's Official - I am Pregnant'. It's a pretty old post so I thought it unusual to receive a comment. That is, until I read it:
Congratulation Good Post
Thank you very much
Plan your Pregnancy as you like with Ovulation Kit now you can choose your time and date of pregnancy you can find me by searching on Google HOME CHECK
It was genuine spam! Some hardworking computer out there had spent the time to dig up my blog and send it a mass-produced comment in bad English. I feel so special. Even my own Mum, bless her, hasn't figured out how to send me comments.
However I soon realised that the computer had not taken the time to actually read the post considering it was about announcing my pregnancy, thereby making its suggestion to buy ovulation kits a bit redundant. That made me sad.
Still it's a step in the right direction.
LIFE WITH THREE KIDS: parenting is relentless... and chaos is beautiful.
