Don\’t stop your dream

Don\’t stop

Writing these notes is very therapeutic for me. I look for a quote that most resonates with my thoughts and feelings and when it zings – I know I\’ve found it.

Almost every day I need to give myself a pep talk to keep going with my puzzle books and other things. Sometimes the only thing that works is realizing how many hours, and how much money I have already invested.

I\’ve reached the point where if I stop one more time I may not have the courage to try again.

So onward and upwards. Today I uploaded the third book to Ingram and now have that experience and knowledge to do the next one much easier. Ingram will be my distributor for when I find bigger book buyers. Which probably won\’t be for the Vancouver series as the audience is too low but when I am ready to publish Portland, National Parks and other books having that knowledge will be necessary.

I made the decision today to have a local printer do the insides of the puzzle books rather than printing at home as the pages have been printing with a bit of a curl. I need to have 300 books printed and that would mean I would be doing nothing else but printing, cutting and binding. Now I will just do the binding. Easy, peasy.

Of course, I need to find more stores and places to carry the books. That\’s my next push.

The fight is on

1. Good session with SCORE mentor. Moving forward.
2. Starting to work on last website. Bit by bit.
3. All three puzzle books are at Ingram. Time to get back to working on the next one!
