4 things I’ve learned this year

1) I still struggle when filling out cover art forms. I thought it would get easier with practice but it hasn’t. I am so grateful for the cover artists who read it and turn it into something amazing. (I blogged about it here: http://casablancaauthors.blogspot.com/2011/11/im-thankful-for-cover-artists.html )

2) No matter how fun and exciting the new story is, anything with a deadline comes first.

3) Waiting to hear back from my editor(s) on a submission is still nerve racking.

4) Some books are easy, some books are hard work. But the end result of seeing my name on the cover is totally worth it.

What have you learned about your writing this year?

There are so many great Australian women writers.

Let’s join the challenge to read those great books in 2012. I’m committing the WInk girls to read 12 books by Australian women in 2012 and post the reviews.
