That you will get good reviews, reviews that sting because they’re true, and nasty reviews.That you will meet amazing people.That you will meet some not-so-amazing people.That writing your third book is like winning the Triwizard cup – except without the Edward Cullen guy dying.That the process gets easier.That marketing is just as important as writing, for indie-authors. And if you don’t like doing it, pay someone, or go traditional. That is, if you want your books to sell.That the best way to sell books, is to keep writing books. Don’t let marketing become the point of your day.That you must be a biarch to keep your writing time.That you should get several pairs of warm socks.That you must take care of your body. Or your body will not write for you.That you should always say YES to an opportunity. Override your introvert tendencies!That at your most miserable points, come the biggest and happiest moments.That Goodreads is awesome as a reader, and an ‘experience’ as an Author.That the cover is rather important.That you should make a list of bloggers and reviewers.That hearing from your readers about how much they loved your story is still the best feeling in the world.That after another few books, there will be 20 more things you’ll have learned. And that’s exciting.
