Especially the word count and the stressing over every word! I would start rewriting before getting to the end, and that was a big mistake. But every book after that one has been MUCH easier to deal with.

Congrats on your novel! And that IS a beautiful cover. Can’t wait to read it!

You’ve reminded me that I need to stop over-thinking and researching and just get on with my first draft. Thanks for your honesty!

PS I am fascinated by your publisher. I don’t quite understand all the pieces they have going on, but they seem very forward-thinking to me. Many of my author friends use the BookSparks arm.
