2025 Goals: Part 1
My overall goal? Two books. I want to do one more toy store
book and possibly wrap that series. That or figure out a better way to market
it. I think I need to talk to Phoebe about keywords on Amazon. She’s much
better in that area than I am. She offered before, but we just never got around
to it. Okay, so let’s break this down in more of a list format.
