**Notes From an Amateur Writer #48**

This Blog series is an exercise in creative writing. Sometimes expressed in short story form, sometimes as a journal, or just my thoughts written down. It is a nursery of sorts for the stories that are on their way, or yet to be written.

This is post 17 in @dragosroua's January [30 day writing challenge](https://steemit.com/steemit/@dragosroua/let-s-start-2018-with-a-bang-join-me-in-a-30-days-writing-challenge-during-january).

**Google Seems to Know Me too Well**

I thought I would check out what would happen when I did a search for *Notes From an Amateur Writer* in Google. I hadn't ever tested Google out before on any thing specific to my own writing blog, so I was curious. Now I know that people wouldn't be putting that term into Google, as it is very specific, and if they knew it they probably also knew my website here at Steemit. But like I said, I was curious.

The above screenshot was taken when I tested it out yesterday. The first two that show up are from my page. Well that was a good sign that someone else didn't have more sway with Google when it came to the name of my main blog. There were more from my own blog further down the page also. But it was the third suggestion on the list that had my attention.

What was Google trying to say about me, and my writing style? *Notes on Writing Weird Fiction*, really? Thanks Google. But then again, weird is good. I like weird.

Turns out the link goes to an essay that was written by *H. P. Lovecraft* back in the 30's, so my false sense of feeling insulted diminished even quicker after that. Maybe this was my six degrees of separation with a truly  famous and inventive author. 

[Notes on Writing Weird Fiction](https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Notes_on_Writing_Weird_Fiction) - should any one be interested.

[The End of the World](https://steemit.com/fiction/@naquoya/the-end-of-the-world-part-1-short-fiction-dark-surreal-scifi) - This is my favourite *weird* piece of writing that I have written.
