In reply to Natalie Hartford. Thanks, Natalie. Big hugs back:) I just have to learn to roll with the punches, and you're right, treat the rejections as a badge of honor.

hate them but I know we have to collect them so we can wallpaper our rooms:) it seems like many of the greats were being rejected for years and they prob. didn’t have ROW80s to encourage them – chin up and stride forth

all the best for this week

Oh Stacy, I can only imagine how hard it is to take but like everyone says, it also means you are well on your way to become a published author. Part of the badge of honor. 🙂
Hang in there. I think focusing on what you can control, sinking your teeth into The Prophet will keep you motivated and enthused.
Sending you a big virtual hug!

In reply to Julie Glover. Very positive way of thinking, Julie. Rejections ARE a part of the process. And second guessing is something I would do regardless, so it's just something I need to accept. Thanks for commenting:)

In reply to Cynthia Robertson. Thank you. Fortunately I haven't had a rejection from an editor yet. Those who asked for partials and full still have them. Rejections have come from agents, but some have had five pages. But I love your way of thinking - the wrong address for the editor who can appreciate my work. It definitely helps. Thank you!

In reply to amyshojai. That's so true, Amy. And I love that analogy - swat our babies upside the ass-terick! Thanks so much for the comment and encouragement:)

When I got my first rejection, I was dejected for a bit. Then I realized, “Hey, I’m on my way to being a published author! This is what writers do – send in their work and get rejected over and over until they don’t.” Still, you want to send out your best work, so it can be easy to second-guess your writing choices. Best wishes with the news. Hope you get a great answer very soon!
