This was a pretty crummy year; not exactly for me but for someone very close to me. Without going into details, I'll say this: never take your health for granted and never take the health of your loved ones for granted. A lot can change, and very quickly, completely out of the blue. I thank everyone who has been a fan of my spouse's work and I hope you will encourage him to continue drawing.


Don't know what it was about July, but that was the BasilCockWatch with the most comments. I suppose it was mostly due to a thread of conversation and not different readers commenting, but I'll take what I can get.

Assessing how stuff I've written has done this year, I looked at what got the most favorites and comments but then thought "Would something that's been up a long time just seem as if it got more attention?" So I looked at ratios of favorites to views, and comments to views (expressed as percentages). We can think of it as the likelihood that someone viewing the item commented or favorited. Though the comments are probably not a great indicator because I respond with at least "thanks" to a lot of comments, so maybe the comment percentages should be split in half? If I have more time I'll think about that more.

Biggest draw for favorites was, of course, pornographic. Roughly 4% of viewers decided to fave See How You Like It. It may have something to do with art being embedded in the pdf but who can say!

The biggest conversations happened on responses to the Thursday Prompts which of course makes sense. (I apologize about how lazy I am about reading other writers' work.)

Hopefully everyone out there keeps reading and writing...or drawing, sculpting, knitting, making music, or what have you.
