HERE ARE THE TOP TEN MOST VIEWED BLOG POSTS FROM 2023 (and why you read them)

Also, many celebrities passed in 2023, and no one on your social media actually knew them. 

Anyway RIP, Bob Barker, I'll miss you. 

HERE ARE THE TOP TEN MOST VIEWED BLOG POSTS FROM 2023 

(and why you read them)

#1) FALL SCHEDULE, 2023 VIRTUAL THURSDAYS DIRE LITERARY SERIES (is it September already?)

Most likely read because Virtual Dire was a success in 2023, and people wanted to know who was next

#2) Thrilled to have a new poem in Live Nude Poems

Was it the word 'nude'? I think it was the word 'nude'. Plus, it was a pretty good poem! 

#3) Reading And Podcast Appearances 2023

Like the Monkees, I was coming to your town OR to your earbubs or auto

#4) Publishers Weekly's review arm Booklife gives Joe the Salamander high marks

A great review in PW. People read blog to see, in other peoples words, what's up with this Gager dude

#5) My Best Reading Ever: Audience Support Helps

Really great reading at Blue Bird Performance Center, so they listened to see what was up with this Gager dude

#6) Three Days Past My Birthday is 13 years….

My annual sober anniversary blog post annually makes the Top 10

#7) Spring and Summer 2023 Schedule, Virtual Thursdays Dire Literary Series, 7 PM EST

 

Really? See why by looking at #1. Fall won, Spring and Summer was seventh. 

#8) My poem, Dog Years, appears in Somerville Times newspaper today

Newspaper poem. People like dogs, poems with dogs, or dogs with or without poems

#9) 10 BY 10, Ten Flash Fictions by Ten Writers publishes my piece, "Dig 'Em" in their Anniversary Issue

Incorporating Dig Em the Frog into a flash fiction piece garners curiosity. 

#11) TODAY IS PUBLISHING DAY, I am very honored that Big Table SELECTED some of my best.

And whoopie, a NEW book was just less popular than Dig 'Em the Frog on blog post views, but very peopular in sales

  and jumping to #10) IS YOUR 2023 RESOLUTION TO START A BOOK. I CAN HELP  

                     This is the year for many of you!
