Winding Down 2012 for a Newbie Romance Author

[Teicha Hill Mailhes]

I feel like the stores putting up Christmas decorations before Halloween is over, but nonetheless I'm wrapping up my first year as a writer.

I will end 2012 with two self-published short stories. One I will publish with Smashwords and one I will re-publish with Booktango.

I've learned a lot this year (not an exhaustive list):

• Bad reviews hurt.
• There's not enough money in writing interracial romance to quit my day job.
• I hate marketing.
• The editing process is horrible.
• And I am having so much fun on this journey, I can't stop myself.

But it is very tiring so I'm taking a break from writing for the holidays. However, I'm still available for blog appearances so if you'd like to exchange spots....send me an email at t(dot)mailhes(at)yahoo(dot)com
