In the last 30 days, we had 24,096 views and 24,751 reads. 5,310 more views and 5,705 more reads than last month. (I’m still confused about how we can have more reads than views.) We’ve gone from 115 followers to 185! The number of writers keeps growing, but I cannot find out where that number is, and I’m not counting them. 😂

On September 5th we had 478 unique visitors to our little publication. Our daily average over the last month was 278. According to Medium, each visitor is counted once per day regardless of how often, or how many pages are visited. (Still impressive for a publication in its infancy!)

Clap away!

Ashllyn T. leads the group in claps with over 3.9k, followed by HAPPINESS + WEALTH ⭐and Nathan Chen. Each of whom had over 2.2k claps. Bruce Coulter touched people with his article about September 11th, with 2.1k claps.

Responses Galore!

Ashllyn had the most responses to her poem, Dreams, oh dreams, at 66. Nathan’s Five Dollars and Infinite Choices: The Flavors That Shaped My Life received 53 responses, and John Hansen’s poem, Blue ~The Poem, garnered 50 responses.
