To Sara McGoodwin she won a copy of Hunting JC
Welcome to Dominique Eastwick's blog (stop#6) via the 1RomanceEbooks.com Happy Anniversary contest and the last blog you visited should have been the fantastic writer Bryl Tyne # 5 at http://bryltyne.com/2010/07/1romance-ebooks-anniversary-blog-tour
Its a busy time for anniversary's 1Romance Ebooks is one and Aspen Mountain press is 4 and my son is about to turn 10 next week. It was also a year ago that I submitted my manuscript of Hunting JC to Aspen Mountain Press. So I thought I would try and come up with the top ten thing I have learned about being an author over the last year.
1. Just because you think your book is amazing and ready for print, it's not there is always more to edit.
2. Other Authors are always willing to help out, especially if you are willing to help them out.
3 Seasoned Published Authors are a font of information tap into it.
4 It's all about POV and staying away from passive voice.
5 Nothing can make your stomach clinch more then the email notice saying your book has been reviewed. To open the email or not that is the question.
6. Writing the Sequel is far easier, all the Characters are already formed and most of the research is done.
7 Writing the Sequel is far harder, the characters are already formed and readers will remember if you changed their eye color.
8. Nothing is more nail biting then having your best friends and family read your sexed up book. (Sorry Dad)
9. Having the Sequel picked up is affirming.
10. Nothing makes you feel more like an author then going onto facebook and see the "go to the page of the book you are reading and type the first senctence" game being played and having two people quote your book.
Sure I have learned more for good and for bad but I bet you would love to move on to the next stop on the tour.
