Monthly Recap: November 2024
TRANSPARENCYMONTHLY RECAP

Alrighty, November is behind us, so it's time for my monthly recap post! As always, I'm gonna be diving into the numbers behind my sales and socials!
Socials
The main thing of note is I am starting to put some effort into Bluesky. I set one up back when it was invite only, as I had someone give me a code. I have to say, between it or Threads, I much prefer the community on Bluesky. It reminds me of Twitter without the bullshit. I'm sure that will change, but for now I like it. So I will be tracking my growth on there. Otherwise:
I would still like to break 1k on Facebook before the new year. 16 of yall could make this happen, just saying!
I still have a good number of collected email addresses from conventions that I need to input, but have been lazy. But that will grow things a bit.

CONjuration did the heavy lifting this month, but overall I am pretty happy with the rest of things as well. Nothing too wild to report, other than the fact THAT I BROKE 12K FOR THE YEAR!
There are a some authors no doubt chuckling politely at how excited that makes me. But my career has been a cycle of 'big step forward, small step back, big step forward, small step back.' This is a rare time where I had a big step forward (breaking 10k for the year), that I didn't take a small step back (and, idk, make 9.5k for the year). Would I have loved to double my money? Of course! But I figure I will probably end the year just shy of 12.5k (unless my last event of the year is a lot better than I expect), and that makes me happy.
