Do you ever feel like quitting?

Ever feel like quitting? Ever feel like whatever you’re working on doesn’t matter and it would just be easier to throw in the towel and give up on your dreams?

If so, this is for you. And for me.

Because I feel like quitting—a lot.

I often want to give up when the shiitake hits the fan and I can’t figure out technology, the internet doesn’t work, when my blood sugar drops and I get tired, when clients cancel (or there are slow weeks without many clients) or when people don’t show up to my (pre-covid) art shows, or when they do yet don’t buy anything… well, you get the idea, right?

When things aren’t going the way that I think they ‘should’ I get a serious case of it-doesn’t-matter and want to quit.

Yet, today, I’m not going to quit.

Today I got out of bed at 0615 on a Sunday morning to sit down and create an acronym that you and I can both use when times get hard or challenging.

It’s an acronym using the words KEEP GOING, which I’m spelling KEEPAH GOING (best said with a heavy Italian accent!)

Designing Your Book Launch Email Strategy

In the weeks leading up to your book launch, your email strategy builds excitement for your book and talks about your progress with readers.

This applies to books, too... you've got to make the connections, tell the story of how your book came to be, and of course don't forget the magic!

Remember to show up, not give up!

Hello, I'm Lois, The Happy Self-Publisher.

My goal is to provide education and support for writers and aspiring authors on their self-publishing journey through writing, publishing, and book marketing services.

Why so happy? Writers create something lasting and meaningful. We take readers to faraway places and give them insight. We make them laugh and cry, think and ponder.

I have the privilege of facilitating the connection between writer and reader by designing and publishing a writer's voice in book form. That brings me immense joy.
