Continuing on the theme of “Hits and Misses” in 2014:
Hit: Personal Development – Through the self-publication and promotion of my book, I have learned a great deal on how to present myself in a more formal/corporate way. It was a great experience to take a day off from work going to independent bookstores to promote my book.
Miss: I under-estimated the time gap between the purchase of a book and the reading of it. It may take some time for some people to read my book (though it is by no means a lengthy one); therefore, feedback and “word of mouth” may come later than I expected.
