Time flies when you haven’t released a book in nearly two years! Heads or Tails, a dual concept poetry book, was released on July 7, 2023. However, today is the two-year anniversary of Can I Pick Your Brain? Initially, I thought I covered everything that any indie author would want to know. I did, for the most part. However, there was still more to be desired.

Shortly after releasing Can I Pick Your Brain?, I received questions about accountability and how I stay on track with my writing goals. As the months progressed, I was flooded with that question from various clients who didn’t know each other. I began to think about how important the concept of accountability is when writing (and completing a book).

If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. I originally started thinking about my next novel but other nagging inspirational thoughts pushed that one to the back burner. I needed to create a follow-up to Can I Pick Your Brain? that I could provide for my clients and those who needed a pep talk about their literary journey.

In comes Pick Me Up. The title is a double entendre that speaks to the specific steps needed to release a book. Y’all know I love seven, so there are seven steps. The title also means that YOU are the main character to making your book happen, even if all you need is a little (or a lot) of oomph to make it happen. Look for Pick Me Up to be released later this year. In the meantime, today’s sales of Can I Pick Your Brain?will automatically qualify you for a 50% off IOU for Pick Me Up.

We all need a little encouragement at times, don’t we? Stay tuned for more updates.
