1. Is "Keep a good mood" a natural collocation?

2. I will give you a copy of the magazine after it gets.
A. printed B. published

Are both answers correct in this case?

Thanks!

"I will give you a copy of the magazine after it is printed" this could be before it is released to the public.
 
If "keep a good mood" is not natural, then what is the correct way? How about "keep/stay in a good mood"?

2. So "get printed" is before the magazine is released to the public while "get published" is when the magazine is released to the public.


Am I right?

Thanks again!

I can't say if 'keep in a good mood' is natural, although I think that I have seen it used.

You also may want to consider, 'keep your spirits up' which means, 'stay cheerful.'

I am sorry! Could you explain again in more detail on "print" and "publish"?

Thanks!

An item is printed. It may stay in the warehouse a few hours or a few months before it is available to the public. Once it's out in circulation, it's published. During that time between printing and distribution, you could get a copy of something that was printed but not yet published.

Pleas ask your question about the mood in another thread. This one will become hopelessly entangled with people answering different questions.
