@Tim We discussed this morning about changing the book title to something shorter and easier to remember and say like, “I Know You Love Me.”

Yay! I uploaded book 1 7x10 matte 100 pages white/white 50lb

I finished Book 2 a short while ago. I was having a hard time with it accepting my blank file. I had to redo the first one and this one many times. I had to add the logo to the first one on the back page. With the second one, it had the logo in the back but then I had to add one line in the first page.

@Tim Yay!!!!! 🎉🎈💕😀🎉 Ingram Spark just waived their setup fees (CODE: INDIEFRINGE17) until July 31, 2017 as a special for their conference? and Book Expo. 📚It's like the Lord gave us a break from book making to enjoy our vacation!

Someone bought a different version of the grandparents book on Amazon.

@Tim You know how some of us have faint reminders of our early childhood, some so early on you were certain you were almost a baby? I have a few of those memories I remember as a very, very young girl. Most of them are of painful circumstances. I wish I had better ones to remember, but then again I wonder if the trauma of those events caused me to remember them all the more. Before I describe my childhood and my life, I want to start with an interesting story my mother loved to share about me as a baby. I disliked hearing about it so much! The story made me cringe. I felt embarrassed and couldn’t believe she told it all those many times to so many people and too many times for me to even count. And here I am, thirty-seven years old, re-telling it as it brings a smile to my face and because she is gone and can no longer share the story. So I’ll do it for her. It was a lazy afternoon and my mom and dad were wiped out sleeping like two exhausted young parents of a toddler. They were both teachers at the time and this may have been part of their weekend period of relaxation. I was a young baby, big enough to stand up on my own in the crib by grabbing on to the railings. Usually they left me with books to read or a soft toy to play with. One afternoon I must have been so bored standing and staring at them waiting for them to wake up and take me out of the crib. So I decided to reach inside my diaper and lunge a ball of surprise at my parents’ faces. I must have been a good shot apparently since Mom said they could feel balls of poop plopping on their faces. One. By. One. They woke up perplexed as to what was hitting them in the face and with sheer horror, screamed in warning to each other that there was Poop! all over them, their bed, and the baby! She said they looked at me and I was as calm as I could be and delighted that I got them to wake up. I must have been eager to get a diaper change, out of bed, or both! Well, it worked.

@Tim Yay! I finished writing two children's number books during Quiet Time! I think that's a record for me! 😀😮📚🎉😊📝📕📗

@Tim Someone bought a Mommy Daddy book recently!

@Tim I am brainstorming the idea of using a different painting for the cover of the "I Know You Love Me" book. 📗🤔 I am thinking about using the one with the mother kissing her baby.

@Tim commented on @Franicia’s file : @Franicia I like this one. Are you thinking of changing the title too? I like the shorter title.

@Franicia commented on @Franicia’s file : @Tim Yes, I would like to shorten the title. 😊 I think the easier it is for people to remember, the easier it is for them to recommend it or remember to buy it again.

@Franicia commented on @Franicia’s file : @Tim It's also clearer. 😊

@Tim commented on @Franicia’s file : @Franicia I think that you're right.

@Franicia commented on @Franicia’s file : @Tim Yay! 😀👍📗

@Tim I spoke a long time to Heistheway this morning about my memoir. She have me a lot of helpful points and advice about the message or takeaway points like 1.) salvation (I wasn't okay until I was saved), 2.) obedience (She said I was obedient and blessed because of it -- that mom would remind me about it often), and 3.) love (That I didn't know and understand what love was until you and Christ). 📝📗🤔

@Tim I also gave her some new memoir title suggestions and we spoke about each of them and why they aren't as good and can be confusing. We came up with, "Freed." 📗 I suggested, "Free" but she said it might sound like the price of free. I'm not sure if I like the "d" sound in freed. This is instead of "Loved." She said that makes it sound more like a love story. What do you think?

@Tim Yay! Chaching! I saw on Ingram Spark that we sold two books in the last 30 days. It was for There Was an Egg and There Was a Bird. 😊

@Tim I just added two imprints on Bowker today to our Wholesome Press publisher account. 🙂 I added “Sage Brain” and “Kawaii Bay.” “Proa Press” was already there.

@Tim I added the imprints to sort of establish and show or document that somewhere.

@Tim Finally, Ingram Spark confirmed that we’ve sold 5 Count Them with Me books.

@Tim The books sold for Count Them with Me through Ingram went up to 6 books today. 🎉

@Tim Our book count on Ingram for Count Them With Me went up to 7 sold.
