I was checking my stats today and noticed I had hit a significant milestone, 10,000 reads for my stories and poems. I was so astonished to see that I had reached this milestone as silently, and quickly, as I had that I almost went into shock. I checked my stats over the weekend and still had over 300 reads to reach the goal, so to have reached it so soon is a pleasant surprise.
This milestone does not belong solely to me, though. Without my constant readers, I would never have reached 10K reads, and all the thanks and glory goes to each of you. I may have written the words to each of the stories and poems, but you all read the words that were written. So with a huge hug, I want to say, “Thank you!”
🥳

Wow! 10,000 reads!
10,000 smiles on faces!
Thanks for this milestone!
🎊
My readers gave me
A gift like no other
They praised my stories
They loved my poems
Then they came back for more
Enjoying my tales
Relating to my poetry
They gorged on my imagination
Until they could eat no more
Then they came back for more
High on the praise
Buzzed on the compliments
I gave them what they wanted
Stoned on the accolades
Drunk on the kudos
I gave them what they wanted
Their addiction feeds my habit
While their dependency fuels craving
Creating a crutch between Reader and Writer
Each, the other’s dealer
Without one, the other wouldn’t exist
A rare relationship between the two

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.

Social Media Strategies That Work Best for Australian Local Businesses
If you talk to enough local business owners in Australia, you start to hear the same frustrations about social media. Some post regularly and get very little response. Others see competitors showing up everywhere and wonder what they’re doing differently. A few give up entirely, assuming social media just isn’t worth the effort.
