I recently finished my first book. Have an agent and a publisher. Had some legal issues with the past agent that is holding up the publication of the book, but it will happen sooner or later and I have started on a new book in the mean time.
My book is about 150K words. Took me a few years to write it because I was working full time on my sites and other stuff at the same time so writing the book was a part time thing for me.
When I finished it I had a sense of relief and joy. I had finally gotten through it and seen it through to the end. What was a bigger validation was getting an agent and publisher. This meant that not only did I do it, but other people in that business think it is good.
It was a hell of a lot of work and there is no way to know how much I will make off it. I could do well, I make make very little, but I enjoyed the process enough and have enough passion for it that I have started a new book so the process begins again.
