A Stitch in Time Saves Nine – An indie’s reputation is only as good as his/her work. Sometimes authors get in a rush to publish; churning out work after work with little mind to the quality of the work. Even the best story can be destroyed by spelling and grammar errors. A prematurely published novel can unravel an entire career.
Work Smarter Not Harder – A writing plan, proper outline, character development exercises, and even a respectable amount of pre-writing saves time and improves efficiency.
A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush – A well-built author/reviewer relationship is worth more than two cold calls any day. Relationship building is absolutely necessary for success. I also get a kick out of it. I love meeting those with a passion for reading.
