I think of 2013 as "The Year I Learned To Accept Publishing For What It Is (and to stop whining about it)", and that year held a lot of rough, pretty low patches for me. I wasn't the only one. In fact, if you do a quick scan of blogs from other authors in my debut year (2012), you'll see almost every one went through the same emotional highs, lows, and fist-clenching frustrations. It's just part of the author's journey. But I weathered 2013...only to face a new year with a whole new set of challenges. Forever after, 2014 will be "The Year That I Thought I Was Creatively Broken (and then realized I wasn't)." It was a hard year, but I've stepped into 2015 with a whole new outlook—and a fresh awareness of WHO I really am, WHAT I really want, and WHY I love telling stories. Here's what I learned in 2014, and what I want to focus on as I move through 2015.
