At some point in my life I might rewrite my debut novel, Little Bits of Karma. I feel I have grown as a writer and my last two books are much better than my first. While Little Bits of Karma has more good reviews than bad, I know where I can improve it. Maybe one day.
Yes! When I was a little girl, I loved reading and told my parents I was going to write a book when I grew up. I don't know if it will ever become a full-time profession, but I'm going to keep writing books.
I think it is extremely important. The title and the cover should convey to the reader what they can expect from the book. I think the cover is even more important than the title.
Yes. I experience writer's block all the time! It usually happens when I'm trying too hard to move a story forward. I know what I want to happen, but can't seem to get the characters to cooperate. Time is the best solution to writer's block. I step away and wait until the muse starts talking to me again. I also find that reading over what I have already written helps ignite the spark of creativity and helps me to overcome the block.
Yes, I read all of them. For the bad ones, I ask myself if there is any truth to what the reviewer is saying. If I can admit that they have a point, I put that on my list of things to improve when I write my next book. For me personally, I find the three star reviews the most difficult to read because they are usually the most critical. When I'm feeling upset about a bad review, I go back and read all the good ones I've received. As long as the good outweighs the bad, I'm fine. Sometimes I'll read the bad reviews of a best-seller to make myself feel better. Bad reviews are part of life when you write books. Not everyone is going to love my stories.
