Ten things I wish I’d known:
1.. Publishing a novel will not validate me. Only God can do that.
2.. Small press means what it says. It’s a publisher, and it’s SMALL.
3.. Synopsis is not a four letter word.
4.. The coolest assembly of words flying in formation does not a novel make.
5.. Story is everything!
6.. When they tell you, “The author does all her own promo” they mean it.
7.. Dust is a wood preservative.
8.. Delivery pizza for supper once a month will not fell your family.
9.. There is no tighter confraternity of women than women writers.
10.. God is faithful and true. His ways are not my ways…that means it all happens in HIS timing, not mine.
