It’s a bitter pill to take-this cycle of submitting work and being rejected. Like a rat in some evil experiment we authors get just enough encouragement to keep trying to reach the cheese.
And yet, we are a hearty lot. Determined to turn ideas into stories and put words to paper. We keep slogging through the rejection letters (or e-mails now) and trying. Against the ever blowing winds of publisher’s demands and the public’s taste we strive to write what’s in our hearts and get it read.
So kudos to all my writing friends! After my own disappointment this week I wanted to salute you! Your courage and dedication to your craft inspires me to continue through the maze! Your encouragement and critiques have made me a better writer and for that I thank you!
I know that one day, if we continue through the maze, we’ll reach that piece of cheese. Publication!
