The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.
Happy End of This Year!
.
I wasn’t going to share this report – partly because it shows how small, how humble my blog and novel are. Plus I figured statistics would bore you. But everyone else was sharing theirs, so I joined the crowd. That said, here’s my Annual Report from WordPress for my blog. It was nice of them to give me the fireworks.
Just one other thing. Many years ago I made a New Year’s resolution that I’ve never broken – not to make New Year’s resolutions. So to keep me from breaking that decades long string, I will resolve today. What? To say I was brought up to be unassuming and humble is a huge understatement. I got into trouble if it so much looked like I was about to say something good about myself. Imagine how I cringe at all the self-promoting I have to do as an indie writer.
.
It has always been a simple expression of humility (not a self-abasing thing) that in personal (and blog) communications, I sign my name with a lowercase “t.” (I never do that in business though.) However, to help me stop cringing every time I advertise my books or myself, I hereby resolve (note it is not a New Years resolution, LOL) to stop signing my name as teagan, and always use “Teagan.”
.

Hugs,
tea… I mean Teagan
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 10,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
It’s worth taking a look at the statistics and be proud. I’m very glad to have found it and I hope the report will encourage you to continue through the coming years. Happy 2015 and to many more audiences in your own Sydney Opera House 😉
Hugs! ❤

Hi Judith! I’m tickled that you stopped to comment. Fun is certainly the key! You’re just getting started, your blog and career will keep growing. 🙂
As i said, i was sort of jumping on the band wagon when i saw everyone posting their Annual Report. But i was also in business-brain (well, it is a workday even though i took leave…) and i was seeing my readers as if they were my stakeholders, and so i felt they were entitled to see the report.
Keep on cooking, and have a fabulous 2015! Hugs. ❤

Like you, I never make New Year’s resolutions — too self-defeating! I do make goals, however, and try to achieve them, but don’t get down on myself if I don’t. I call it progress! Good for you Teagan! I suspect that was no small achievement from WordPress. Having even one book published is a huge hurdle to overcome. Congrats!
