@newpoet, check.  That makes five of us, smile.

@Ajay-Kumar I've lost over 3K, but it's steady now. My rise in followers came when I was in the stream of consciousness of the world's readers, not just Wattpad. Readers only seem to stay and then exit, leaving this site intact. When Wattpad took me off the front page in 2015 with Journey Home, the new followers stayed listed as followers, and the sites were, shall we say, unmanned.

@CottonJones yes, i got this message. it's crazy, the perils of writing in electricity is being able to see the blackout. (i think I've lost around 200 followers, not sure).

@preciouspearl20 It is a bit more than a handful, but with different time zones, it winnows the one who sees you at the moment. I don't look at the Wattpad tab all the time, but it is one I leave open, pointed out @frayrays point. Some only see you from the posted Announcements folder, and in a folder, you have to open it to see what's inside, but notifications are right there;  pop, in your face. I pay more attention to Facebook and you can grab my attention there, as well. I don't use any other social media except for X formerly known as Twitter, but I seldom use it.
            
            I have used the conversation app more since the D.M. app was closed. I read your conversations more. However, the human brain can only have so mean open tabs in its process at a time. I keep 8 tabs open at one time more crash my brain, lol.

@CottonJones congrats!! 

@preciouspearl20 Thank you. My sonnet collection readership is growing and reminds me I need to add a few to the collection for 2025. I ran across some handwritten notes for one I jotted down in December of last year. In the meantime, I'm working on a self-portrait. You have a great day, Pearl.

@CottonJones Congrats and all love. ❤️
