10 Things I Wish I Knew About Being an Author I Didn’t Know Before
10. The importance of deadlines (especially if you have a full-time job on top of writing)
9. The editing process is more than half the battle of creating a novel.
8. The importance of social media (and how much it can take away from writing time!)
7. How much a bad review can hurt, and how much a good review can boost my mood for days!
6. How much plotting can really help a story flow better (and helps with number 10!)
5. Not nearly having enough time to read for fun.
4. How great it is having a team behind me and my books. I am so thankful for my editor and publisher taking a chance on me!
3. Building a thick skin to criticism is a powerful tool and one that should be in your toolbox before publishing.
2. Being organized is more important than you realize.
1. How exciting it is to see my name on a book cover!
