It's difficult, it's strenuous, it's frustrating and can drain you, mentally.
Especially if you're holding down a regular job as well.
I write at night, it's tiring, but it's just for 5 months, then you're in the editing phase for another 5 months, which isn't as hard.(less)

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

The start writing, don't stop, just keep writing until you have all your 150 lines turned into 150 pages.
Then start again and flush and add until you have your 300 pages, 80k words.
Then you start again for the 3rd time.
Then you get an editor. Spend two months fixing all the 18,000 corrections (Actually had 18,000 in this new book).
Do what your editor says, but go with your gut if you need to.
Get a good artist, make sure your cover is excellent.
Fix your edits, then have the editor give the book a once over.
Fix the last few edits.
The proofread X10. Different people.
Publish on Kindle/Amazon.
Don't bother with publishing houses.
(You'd have written a second book by the time you send out all the cover notes and manuscripts, just to get "we're sorry, but the book dosen't suit us".)
Easy. Anyone can do it.(less)

Code Thief

Code Thief

I think the revised Edition of Code Thief has been given a thumbs up by the majority of the new readers.
I worked on the character development, even though I was hoping that the characters would speak for themselves.
The book was always intended to be a dialogue-driven book. Where people would learn about the characters through what they say and do, and not through what the author tells th Read more of this blog post »
