Feels like we're talking across the table over tea or coffee (o; You certainly aren't alone in the rejection letter department. My first book was rejected 25 times then picked up by a major publisher. It took five years after my first send out before it was published. Right book, right time, right publisher. NEVER give up. While I waited I wrote like crazy for magazines and was eventually asked to be an assignment writer! Even did some work for hire. It helped me to grow as a writer. I could wallpaper a bathroom with my rejection letters! I'm still getting them BUT because like YOU, I don't give up! I'm still getting published.

Some people collect them. I never do unless they have positive comments on them.<BR/><BR/>Our rejections join the best of the best. Many well known authors have received numerous rejections.
