Week 4 of #Wipmadness

Thanks so much for stopping by during this month of #wipmadness! I'm cheering you on!


For my final post of this month, I thought I'd talk about karma. You know the saying: What you do comes back to you?

In this biz, it can be tough at times. The ups and downs are like being on a roller coaster ride. You get on the coaster, not sure what to expect and then experience highs(like signing with an agent, signing a book deal, successful author speaking/signing engagements, landing on the NYT best sellers list) and then the lows(rejections galore, low book sales).

You have to be tough.


I've found it really helps to cheer on my fellow authors when they have successes and hope that karma will come back and bite me some time later on.

The Giving Game

The idea of giving first is as old as time. What we give returns to us. You know how karma works. Karma says that what we give out is what returns to us.

What an opportunity! If we focus on giving, on sharing, on helping – then that positive energy will return to us. It may go against our natural grain to put ourselves aside and promote another author’s book, but that’s what activates the karma principle and sets things in motion. It’s the essence of karma and the subject of numerous proverbs, as well as some contemporary thinkers..International Book Marketer, Public Speaker, Book Coach and Author Advocate, Nancy Baumann’.

So, for today, I'm sending out mega fairy dust to all

of you.


Here's to some great successes to everyone. Be it getting through that writer's block, to finishing that revision, first draft, deadline. To just feeling motivated to get back in that chair and write.

Si, se puede! You can do it!!

Remember what actress Gina Rodriquez said, "Why not me?" Exactly. Why not you?
