On average, readers spent 14,940 minutes (8.3 hours) a day reading what you wrote, and on Christmas Day, over 600 people visited our little publication!

Bruce Coulter’s What Happened on Saturday Mornings? The Best Cartoons Ever was boosted and got over 382 reads! TzeLin Sam’s I Never Get Angry has over 6000 claps!

It’s a challenge to find which stories had the most action since Medium removed the ‘reads and views’ data from the 30-day report. The only data points given are claps and responses unless you look at the individual stories. So, after sorting on claps, I click on the stories with the most claps to get the reads/views. It would be impossible to do that for every story, so I use claps as the qualifier. Not always the best indicator, but it’s what we’ve got. (Does that make any sense?)

Without further ado, let’s aim for Even More in ‘24! (Thanks, Randy!)

January 1

Kelly Corinne Elliott asks whether you do a word for the year. Even if you don’t normally, what is a word that, if you focused on it, might help you gain even more in ‘24? (Randy, I think your ‘even more in ‘24’ is sticking around.)

January 2
