The Unwritten Word turns one year old today!

Of course there are 52 weeks in a year, not 11, but who's counting? (Well, besides me. And now you.)

Some first-year stats:

Best month: August 2012, with 531 unique visitors and 1,249 total page views

Average unique visitors per month: 185

Average page views per month: 718

Most "Liked" post: How to Honor Your Absent Father

Post most often discovered via search engine: Week Six: In which novella = "picture book" and psyche = "basement" (I think it has something to do with the graphic I used... fear of the basement? basement cat? That's the only thing I can think of. I'm also going to tag this post "basement cat" and see what happens.)

Honorable mention: I get at least 2–3 clicks a month from various Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanfic forums and websites. Someone who called him/herself "unwrittenword" used to be pretty active in that community, and so people mistakenly come here looking for his/her stories. For the record, I adore that show, and hope any and all of you wayward clickers find something herein you also enjoy. Perhaps a dark tale of a baddass heroine and how she got her start?

Thanks so much to everyone who's visited, "Liked," commented upon, or otherwise enjoyed my little project. My writing discipline and confidence have come a long way in one year, and it wouldn't have happened without you.

Let's make Year Two awesome.
