It's been awhile. I know. I'm editing my latest novel right now. It's been a gruesome process.
My first novel had been more of a test for me. I was nearing the final semester of my college years. Something inside of me told me that I just had to have a novel published before I graduated. So, to rush things I self-published. It was one of the best mistakes I've ever made though. It's one of those things that you regret first and then later realize that it may have been a blessing in disguise.
Now, I know better not to rush things just because of a particular circumstance. I learned how to sell novels on my own. If this never happened, I never would've developed a selling style. I would've just been a lazy writer who'd just let time pass by, hoping that his books would sell on its own.
