THE FREE CHOICE E-ZINE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ITS LOYAL READERSHIP (AND THEIR BOTS?) FOR GRANTING US 55,476 PAGE VIEWS IN SEPTEMBER 2023.

My personal writing blog, Filling Blank Spaces, had 40,990 page views last month. I hope all of those views on both sights were by actual real people enjoying my work and not AI scans.
