Writing is difficult. Whether you're self-publishing or searching for an agent, the process can be draining as well as rewarding, and now I'm sharing the lessons that have stuck with me from the first chapter of my first book back in 2001 to leaving my 9-5 job in 2015.

It is for writers just starting out, or those contemplating giving it up altogether.
Hang in there. You're not alone.
