Writing a book

In the last two years I've written four books. I've also published zero. No applause. In that time I've found a few things about myself. 1. I'm a fast writer, but not a very good planner. I've mostly written these books by the seat of my pants. Hence the label 'Pantser' to describe me. 2. I hate the comma and don't use it very well.  3. I enjoy the writing process, editing not so much. 4. Once I've finished the book I don't know how to sell it. Number 4 is the biggest problem. For my first book I queried 70 people and got 70 rejections. For my second book I queried 30 people and am sitting at 19 rejections so far, but I'm not optimistic I'll get anything. The third book is a sequel to the first, so I won't query it but will put it on Royal Road.  This fourth book will be different. I've already started querying and am now sitting at 4. My next task will be to write the sequel and go from there. Or start the fifth book.
