There are a few things I should have known before I published my first book, little stuff that other writers didn’t tell me. I haven’t seen any articles written about this stuff nor have I taken a workshop at a writer’s conference concerning this issue either. I’m sure everything that I’m learning along the way doesn’t just apply to writers. The same things is true of artists, singers, songwriters, , seamstresses, cooks, chefs, or any other field where you put your heart into what you’re passion about.
I decided to keep a list of things I should have known and share it with everyone. Please feel free to add to the list and send me those tidbits you’ve found out along the way, too. The more we know the better we can prepare.
The people you think will buy your book, won’t.
The people you think won’t buy your book, will.
The more you write the more you want to write.
There is never enough time to write as much as you’d like.
Just when you think you’re done editing, you’ll need to edit some more.
