For author and writing instructor Christina Hoag, the journey for completing and publishing her first novel was a much longer process than she anticipated. Before writing a novel, Hoag wrote a lot of short stories that she tucked away in a drawer and never revisited. While these short stories helped Hoag with her writing craft, they didn&#39;t prepare her for the amount of rewrites a fully polished, full-length manuscript requires. Another common misconception among new writers is that you will make a lot of money from publishing a novel. Authors that reach bestseller status and sell millions of copies are rare, as are overnight successes. Hoag does believe that if you are fully committed and really want success as a writer, you can attain it. Just be prepared to work.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-94/ChristinaHoagonHerLearningExperienceasanAuthor.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../ChristinaHoagonHerLearningExperienceasanAuthor.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/writing-jobs/w/full-time-writer/7437/christina-hoag-on-her-learning-experience-as-an-author/revision/1Fri, 02 Aug 2019 19:36:01 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:f5505e6d-b2cf-4031-b0b3-f714a8a546e6Christina Hoaghttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/writing-jobs/w/full-time-writer/7437/christina-hoag-on-her-learning-experience-as-an-author#commentsRevision 1 posted to Full-Time Writer by Christina Hoag on 8/2/2019 7:36:01 PM<br /> <p>New writers commonly underestimate the amount of time and dedication it takes to complete and publish a book.
