Find your audience. Keep everything flowing and keep your followers updated on your progress. Most importantly, though: don't be afraid to write what your want. It takes bravery to write anything, and just the fact that you're a published (or soon to be published) author deserves congratulations.
Another thing: don't let the detractors discourage you. For every detractor, there are five more supporters.

Sounds good to me! It'd take me a while to get to reviewing, but if you're up for that, my email's [email protected].
Cheers right back at ya! :)

The freedom, the expression, the creativity, and the evolutionary process you go through the more you write. Plus, it's a good stress reliever, believe it or not. I often vent through my writing. And I'm always thinking up more scenarios and challenges to tackle for future works.

I watch movies and anime, or I read novels or manga. They're a primary source of inspiration for me, so if I run out of inspiration, naturally that's where I run back to.

Sorry I haven't answered sooner.
Anyway.
Try a free giveaway and advertise it on the appropriate Goodreads groups, your Twitter page, your own author blog (if you have one), and your Facebook page dedicated solely to your work.
If you don't have a promotional Facebook page, make one. It's free. You can also request (honest) reviews on certain Goodreads groups. I recommend having at least a PDF file handy for emailing whomever shows interest in your book and drops their address behind, and try to avoid Microsoft Word, since people can edit that more easily. Plus, PDF seems to be the most accessible and preferred file type (it is for me, anyway, lol).
That's all at the moment. :) Good luck!

At this very moment, I'm working on a short story for an indie publishing company's dystopic/romance anthology called I Keep My True Love in the Basement. I'm also working on .

Too many places to list off. Different anime, manga, movies, books, even history.

I watch action movies and anime. That's where I get most of my inspiration from.
