For ambitions with the first book, know and learn the mindset of the book industry particularly the publishing world. The best advice I was ever given is something I'm always happy to pass on, that is - buy a copy (secondhand if out of print) 'An Author's Guide to Publishing' by Michael Legat on Hale and the most recent copy of 'The Writer's & Artist Yearbook.
