Well that was a slog!

One year and two months to write. A further six months to edit, then a month to get the cover designed and the book published.
What did I learn?
I learnt that the whole process could have been a lot quicker and that even now, there is a whole lot I could have done better. I read various passages from my book and think...

"I could have done that better."
Or
"That plot hole is so big, an Imperial Star Destroyer could hyper jump through it!"

I think that few authors are satisfied with their work. In my case though, it is just a signpost on my way to a time when I can write better.
