My Hero

Greetings,

Story time. One of my favorite writers is Sarah J Maas. She inspires me because, she started writing her best-selling novel when she was fifteen and it published eleven years later. She never gave up and Throne of Glass is my favorite series. I love it. I love it so much even my family knows who she is and what she wrote. A couple years ago I was waiting for her the third book in the series to come out. It maybe had three months before it released when I saw a post from her. It was the title page of Book Five. My mind blew. I didn't understand why or how she was that far ahead of the game.

A couple weeks ago I found a post stating that Sarah wrote an entire novel in five days. A novel not a novella. Plus, the shortest novel she's written was Throne of Glass it was 416 pages. That was almost six years ago. Her most recent novel from that series is Empire of Storms a grand total of 704 pages. My point, she doesn't do small scale novels. Five days? Point is she is my hero.

Right now I'm working on the third book in my series and the first one A Daughter's Fury released just this month. Now it makes sense of why authors have to be ahead of the curve. Especially traditionally published authors with marketing, editing and cover designs.

Since I'm self-published all my deadlines come from within and not an editor. One regret of self-publishing is that my family isn't very understanding of my deadlines or the career I'm trying to build.

Thanks for reading RawLitCom: True Confessions of an Aspiring Author!

Sincerely,

Taylor
