What do you wish someone had told you at the beginning of your career? by Lindsey Pogue

That being an independent author isn’t simply writing and publishing a story – it’s a business. Your business, name, branding and identity, so don’t compare yourself to others. Running your business will be overwhelming and you will try to do “all the things” to keep up with other authors, but don’t. Pick one or two areas to focus on at a time and do them well. Don’t get caught up in what everyone else is doing, but do what feels right to you. More than anything, listen to your gut.
