Great article

Have a look at this article by Savita Kalhan, entitled 'Ten things I wish I had known before writing a book'.  Here's an excerpt:

1. Join a writers group. Most full-time writers write in long periods of isolation, so it’s good to know other people in the same situation. It’s a great support network!
2. Research your publishers...

I'm sad to say I have done nearly none of the ten things, but I'm sure she's right - especially of you want the book to be a success.  For some of us, just actually writing it would be a good start ;)
