Did you have goals in terms of, okay, how many sales you want or like what you're pushing towards? Or it's just that kind of constant rhythm of promoting and marketing?
Miranda SheppardGUEST
I'd say it's a constant rhythm and every day is like I'm just hoping for the best.
Miranda SheppardGUEST
I'll just give it 100% at everything I do and, like, yeah, I don't have a number in mind.
Miranda SheppardGUEST
Every day is a new day and just give it my all and, you know, if I sell a copy or two or three or four of the book, then that's a good day.
Miranda SheppardGUEST
