Julie's welcome email suggested I introduce myself and share what stage I'm in the process, so here goes: 1. My book name/topic:​ The Curse of Average / I guess it would be in the positive psychology space about amplifying your strengths, stop spending resources on 'improving weaknesses', and lean into more peace and fulfilment where your true strengths lie. ​2. I recently published at the beginning of October and my biggest challenge right now is exposure/marketing. I've made a few sales (from my launch team and gathered some reviews) 3. My goal over the next 30 days is to garner more sales and drive traffic to my website (www.thecurseofaverage.com). Blessed to be here in this community!!

Hello Wordsmith Family: Truly tickled to share that I just published my nonfiction audiobook I TRIED TO BE NORMAL BUT IT WAS TAKEN on Audible and I could not have paid for a better review! Am I showing off? Apparently yes. I believe in celebrating our successes. We all know where we can improve. If anyone wants a freebie and does not have an audible acct you can access mine for free for 30 days by clickling: https://www.audible.com/pd/I-Tried-to-Be-Normal-but-It-Was-Taken-Audiobook/B0HKT1G1G1?qid=1790619636&intent=discovery&sr=1-1&ref_pageloadid=not_applicable&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=F1HFKBXBQ3QRV1BXJK2X&plink=IEUEiFPbjBDOohjT&pageLoadId=cXg2IrNfw8HJPHU6&creativeId=0d6f6720-f41c-457e-a42b-8c8dceb62f2c&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&fbclid=IwY2xjawUuJjFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABwZG9mBWJyaWQRMThvbG4ySnBBeDhLQzdvSndzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEevb-He4hssa33QY8xAx7Rn9LYvTPa1DPd_PrnycJPP4mGxqM1LNmkrvz_Pzk_aem_n6edAM0LNKAco6gwI8n9zQ

The published to profit virtual summit is on next week ... you can get your free access here. There are some great speakers in this summit, including myself. :) See you there?

Julie always says that sales are not necessarily the goal. My goal has been legacy and last week I brought my book to UCSF Medical Center Archive and Special Collection and 4 of my paintings that the archivist wanted to see. She took all four paintings into the archive to be preserved forever (if the planet survives). And she wants to come to my home studio to see two more.
