How long have you been published? Since 2011. I cannot believe it's been over 6 years already.
What's the worst part about being published? I'm an introvert, so sharing a part of myself and hoping readers respond positively to it is the hardest part of being published. When you write, you are revealing a part of yourself that I have often hidden in my day to day life.
What's the best part about being published? Accomplishment. The sense of accomplishment that comes from completing a book and having it published and available for sale. That is such a great feeling. To push past all the things that can stop you from getting published feels great.
Are you self published or did you go through a publishing company? I am self published then through a self publishing company.
*What are the highs, if any? Getting great reviews from readers feels amazing. Also, getting good royalties from distribution channels also feel good.
*What are the lows, if any? The opposite of the highs. Getting a bad review left me depressed for days, maybe weeks. I don't remember exactly. The feeling of despair is all encompassing. I think I even cried. LOL. It wasn't that bad, but it was after I published my first book and the thought that someone wouldn't like it never occurred to me. So, reading a neutral/semi-bad review as devastating. Lol.
I am over that now and I understand that my work is not for everyone and that's ok. I've developed a thick skin when it comes to criticism and truly don't take it personally. Also, I understand there are trolls out there that will write terrible things on the internet, just because they feel like it.

Was it/were they an easy write for you? No, they were not easy to write.
What's the hardest part about writing a book? The hardest part was making sure I wrote everyday until I finished. The dedication it takes to just keep writing.
