"I shouldn’t dwell on my statistics and be disappointed when my views begin to drop." Great attitude to have Siobhan, because it definitely happens when you miss some days interacting, but I had to stop worrying about that, just like I try to do with stats.

Btw - since you love writing prompts, it sounds like you'd be a perfect candidate for "Vocal Media" since that's how they solicit for writers and the prompts are paying challenges.
