What pitfalls would I warn other writers to avoid on their publication journey?

Do the editing, once, twice, and more -- then hire a professional to edit, after that stop writing and doing any edits yourself. 

Have one copy of the text polished, finished, and ready to format for the different ebooks: print on demand, and kindle.  Make edits only to this format.
