Writing is difficult. Really, really difficult. Growing up, I always thought that would be the hardest part of my dream of becoming an author. Actually finishing a book, a book people would want to read, that’s supposed to be the hardest part … right?
In the six years since I published my debut novel, I’ve learned a lot. A lot about writing, a lot about publishing, and even more about the person I am and the person I want to be — or, let’s be honest, don’t want to be. There’s a lot of heartache in sharing stories from your head with anyone who’d like to read them, but a lot of joy, too. I’d like to share a few of the lessons I’ve learned thus far, like how to tell if your brother actually reads your work, what not to say on a call with a literary agent, and how people really feel about cliffhangers.
