This year has been a wild ride for me, as I’m sure it was for many people. I’m so happy to have discovered this platform, which I started using regularly just a couple months ago (mid-October, 2021). Since then, I’ve gained almost 400 followers (wow!), 11 email subscribers (thank you!), and 3 referred members (amazing!). Together, we’ve been learning and growing and writing and reading, and I hope that 2022 holds more of the same.

In 2021, I published 54 stories excluding this one. My first story of the year was called “Life in Lockdown: Three Cities in 2020” in early May. I didn’t post again until October 14 with my story “The Dreamspinner Press Controversy,” when I rediscovered this amazing platform and all it had to offer a writer like me. Since then, I’ve continued posting regularly, including writing 33 stories in November alone. I’ve learned a lot these past few months.

Year in Review

I love total transparency, so I thought I would share how things have been going for me these past couple months. These numbers are all based on my Stats page as of about 2.30pm on December 31, 2021:

  • 54 stories posted
  • 28 stories monetized**
  • +400 followers
