Third Anniversary of “Novelists have Normal Version of Multiple Personality”: Seven reasons this literary-psychiatric blog is not, yet is, popular.

1. Title: a third of people think “Who cares?”; a third think “Everyone already knows that”; a third think “Multiple personality is a plot gimmick and doesn’t really exist” (It does exist, more commonly than you think).

2. M.D.: This guy must be a psychiatrist (true) and he is going to give a psychoanalytic view. (On the contrary, I reject the Freudian view.) In any case, this psychiatrist is neither a novelist nor a professor, so he is not one of us. (True. I think outside the box, because I am from outside the box.)

3. Smartphone visitors: They don’t have a search dialog box and a larger screen, which are needed to fully enjoy this blog.

4. Referrals: The main way for a blog to get more visitors is to get referrals from famous people or popular blogs, which may never happen here.

5. Content: To appreciate the posts in this blog, you need some knowledge of both literature and multiple personality, and very few people have that combination. Fortunately, you can learn everything you need to know from the blog itself, if you read it from its beginning, or search names and subjects found in its indexes. Unfortunately, relatively few people are willing to do that.

6. On the positive side, this blog continues to have visitors from many countries, including Brazil, China, Colombia, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Pakistan, Philippines, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, UK, USA, Vietnam.

7. There have been more than six hundred posts. I don’t know why “Ernest Hemingway’s Twenty Nicknames” has had the most visits. Second most visited is Doris Lessing’s “To Room Nineteen.” Other popular posts have included the first one, “Dickens, Multiple Personality, and Writers”; Henry James’s “The Ambassadors”; Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl”; Debbie Nathan’s “Sybil Exposed”; Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “Dialogue with the Mirror”; and “A Streetcar Named Desire” by Tennessee Williams.
