Harsh Publishing Realities I've Faced

Today I'm sharing some of the harsh realities I've had to face in traditional publishing. These are the tough truths I've had to buck up and deal with, either for myself, or for my friends (watching sucky stuff happen to other people sucks, too!). Some of these were surprises, others not--but even when you're expecting something, it can still be tough to go through.
