The big event of the year — for the blog, of course — was switching to BlueHost back in April and then updating all of my social media posts and back-matter in my books to point to the URLs featuring the new domain.
Traffic-wise, August was the best month since the switch, then declined the next two months, rebounded slightly in November, then slipped back a little in December, ending down about 35% from that peak.
As I noted back in September, deciding to stop posting my promos on Sharesome only accounted for part of that decline, but was still a big decision I had to make in response to their censorship.
At the same time, I haven’t completed a new book since republishing “Into Another World,” so that’s also a factor. “Package Deal” is still my work-in-progress, I’ve just been stuck on writing a couple major scenes for it, including the ending, trying to get the tone right.
My creativity was another victim of 2020 stress, in the end.
Here’s to 2021 being better, for all of us!!
