While I am happy with what I have written I really thought I would get more done this month. Things at work have slowed down but I'm still trying to catch up with the rest of my life and anything I do means I cannot do something else. There is only so much time and I only have so much energy, sad but true. I really need to get back on track as I have many more ideas for posts. I have also been meaning to reply more to those who post comments, I really appreciate your thoughts and comments.
It takes me about 3 hours to write a post, my monthly update doesn't take that long at all, around 30-60 minutes. It takes about 3 hours as I find other things I need to do (in other words I procrastinate, which normally helps), I think about what I'm writing, I reread, I rewrite, reread, rewrite, as many times as I think I need to. I also need to be properly rested or it becomes quite a trial to write. Normally writing is enjoyable even though it requires discipline, stamina and imagination.
My best day this month was the 15th January when I had 104 visitors, my only day over 100!
My worst day this month was the 2nd February when I only had 43 visitors.
11th January-11th February
11th December-11th January
Russia, Germany, Ireland and Canada are all up, the Ukraine is back in the top 10.
The United Kingdom and France are basically the same.
Australia and China are slightly down, the United States is quite down, to have it under 1000 is quite disappointing.
India has left the top 10.
I have also had visitors from the following countries Luxembourg, Belgium, Denmark, Finland,Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Poland, Czech Republic, Serbia, Romania, Turkey, Syria, Israel, U.A.E., Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Sudan, Kenya, South Africa, New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina.
I hope to see you all again soon!

Sorry to see the US is down. I've been trying my best visit and keep traffic up! :-)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to comment on writing a little bit. Usually I find writing takes me a long time when I'm writing about things that don't fit me. Some people are good at describing events that have taken place; others at proposing new ideas; others at drawing lessons out of life and teaching them. So far I've been feeling my way along as to what I write well, and the teaching angle noted above seems to fit me well. This is just a suggestion, but maybe you need to try a different tack, a different angle in your writing that might suit you better.
What, no one from the Netherlands??? I read your blog every day:)

DeletePlease don't hate me I can explain!
I write a list of each country that visits my site, but I do not add those countries in the top 10. The Netherlands was in the top 10 and then it left during the month and I failed to note and write it down. My mistake!
I get visitors from your site every day and I try to check your site every day but I'm not always successful in doing so.
I have also had visitors from the following country, the Netherlands.
Now it's official!
