“Real life” has been pretty busy, without much time for writing or promoting of my writing, social media posting, etc. That said, my blog hits for April were the highest in six months, while May dropped down again.
April/May Blog status

March 2024 Blog Status
March’s hits were nearly the same as February’s, only 1% difference. That is all.
February 2024 Blog Status
Well, my efforts to get back on track with social media posting didn’t last too long. But some of it is automated, so it took a while for those queues to run dry. Trying again, now.
February’s hit stats were thus not as good as January’s, better than December’s and about even with November.
January 2024 Blog Status
Well, I began to get back on track in posting to Twitter and Facebook (and MeWe, Instagram and Sharesome). January’s hit total was better that the two previous months. But the fact is that the three months (November, December, January) were the lowest three in the past two years.
I also got some progress on book 8 of my current series, so hopefully I can get that finished soon. I’m still not sure if this is going to wind up the end of the series (and how to end it), or if a book 9 might be next.
October 2023 Blog Status
Okay, delayed again, by busy-ness in my life and work outside of writing… Barely able to find time to post some of my promos to my social accounts. No time for writing, at all. Anyway, October saw a very small (~2%) increase over September’s blog hits. That’s all there is to say.
September 2023 Blog Status
Another decline in September, but not down to June’s low. I finally got my home internet in better shape towards the end of the month. Now I just need to get caught up on some stuff related to my social media posting…
August 2023 Blog Status
Yes, I’m even later with this than I was last month. Life’s been busy and the same issues I have with Internet access at the beginning of each month (tied to my cellphone plan) were still an issue.
Anyway, blog hits declined in August, but only in comparison to July. They were still better than June or May and were better than August 2022. If I just had the time to finish my current book and keep up with all of the social media posting to promote my existing books, things could be better.
July 2023 Blog Status
Yeah, I’m almost a week late on this, but I frequently have limited Internet access at the beginning of the month and when I do have access, other tasks take priority.
Anyway, July 2023 did see a jump in traffic compared to the two months before it, likely the effect of the Smashwords sale this month. Not quite to the level of May+June combined, but close. Yet, still lower than July 2022, for comparison.
June 2023 Blog Status
Not a lot of writing/promoting activity again, so blog hits dropped even further, to the lowest level in more than a year.
Maybe the Smashwords sale this month will help (see here), but I’ve got to promote that, too. And my real life job (no, I’m not telling you what it is) is going to be busy in July, too. So, we’ll see what we see.
May 2023 Blog Status
Yes, this monthly status is delayed again. Sorry. Just busy doing other things. And that’s the main cause of a big drop in hits in May, more than 50% from April and the lowest in five months.
