I’m becoming quite the exhibitionist in my old age. Several times in 2023, I posted pictures of my breasts. I wrote and posted a story written under the influence of opioid pain pills hours after undergoing a lumpectomy. So if I can show everyone my grandma breasts, why would I be shy about sharing my income?

I’m not.

In 2023, I got pretty damned comfortable with flashing y’all.

So I’m going to keep it up by telling you how many views and reads I got and how much money I made. If you’re a Medium writer, you may be interested in studying how what I’m doing is working or is not working.

If you’re a reader but not a writer, please don’t look away yet. Scroll down for a cheat sheet that could be headlined The Best of Michelle Teheux.

I got 15 Boosts in 2023.

But much of my best work did not get Boosted. In fact, some of my very best work was passed by. Some of the stories I got Boosted for I didn’t think were anything special. This is all subjective, so you can be the judge.
