Well, that’s a corny title that doesn’t say a lot about my point…which is that little by little LOI is growing. Word is getting out and I’m feeling more relaxed. I’m getting more organized and more in the swing of things. For quite a while I felt like I was in a state of frozen panic, not knowing if I would raise enough money or have enough publicity or enough visibility or enough of anything.
Speaking of having enough, I’ve been on a merchandise spree the last couple of weeks and yesterday got the last of the new bookcases to accommodate the new books. My stepson is going to put them together at the end of the week. I want everything to look spiffy for Sunday’s Azizah event. I think there is going to be a good size crowd. I have so much to do before then.
The children’s books I got in have been selling really well. I should have started selling them a long time ago.
