Seriously, What’s Going On?

A couple of weeks ago, I decided that looking at my stats very frequently was not good for me, it was only causing anxiety, so I decided to check only a couple of times a day.

In the morning, I review my earnings from the previous day and the story stats so far for the current day.

At night, I see how many readings I managed to close the day.

Today was no exception…

It was 5:45 am when my alarm went off and I decided to get up. I turned on the coffee maker so that the coffee smell would flood the room and I sat for a few minutes with my cell phone in hand to wait for the elixir of life to be ready.

I reviewed my story stats, and what I found really disappointed me, and I can’t find an explanation (maybe you can?) The line in which the Views VS Reads graph moves usually maintains a distance, we all know that many people go into our stories without reading them. But that line today is not congruent, the views and reads go in opposite directions!
