Writing is fun.....Once you hit the publishing button, that is when the real work starts.
Some things you should know, but no one will tell you.
1. Time is your enemy. You will never have enough time in the day to do what you want to do.
2. You will soon realize that you find yourself promoting your book, than writing the next book.
3. Do you have a face book page??? An author Face Book Page??? A Blog????
4. What works for one author might not work for another author.
5. I try to blog everyday or every other day. If you don't blog regularly, you will lose viewers
6. I still don't understand facebook, but I know that I have to be on it. I have friends on facebook and I know that readers are finding me on face book
7. Need to get your next book out ASAP.
8. If you are not selling books....get the next book out and keep writing,,,, you will. I went 4 months without a sale. I kept writing.
9. Summer Slump. I was selling books I was doing great till June-July-August came. My sales sank..Now I feel I am back at the beginning. Struggling alone, but now that summer is over...my sales are going back up
10. Do what works for you. You need an online presence. You need to get your next book out.
11. The way I am publishing is publishing a short story a month

Publish a short story a month and get your name out. It is a lot of work, but selling books and getting a royality check makes it worth it
