As we close out the year, I wanted to share author metrics that show Inkican’s progress by the numbers in 2023. Some might ask ‘okay … why?’ and the answer is pretty simple. Metrics play a vital role in measuring the performance and success of organizations. How do we know if we’re doing the right thing if we don’t measure it? This might be an annual tradition, I haven’t decided. For now, let’s talk Inkican by the numbers – here are my 2023 author metrics:

And that’s it – Inkican By the Numbers – my 2023 Author Metrics. All the Mastodon toots, all the conversations, all the writing – this is what it adds up to. What is my hope for 2024? Writing even more! Taking the next few days slow – I want to hit the ground running next Monday. I hope you do the same – let’s make 2024 an amazing place to be.
