Rejection

Part of being a writer is dealing with rejection.  You cannot take it personally.  Most publishers admit in Writer's Market that it often does not reflect the writing.  Going through the publishers, a lot of them only publish two or three books a year.  And they can hundreds of manuscripts daily so a lot of writers will get rejected.  There are lists of how many famous authors had multiple rejections, some of them even by hundreds of publishers.

I just got rejected by two agents.  And I've had multiple short stories I've submitted to magazines that have been rejected.  But I keep trying.  I keep submitting.  I keep writing.  As should anyone who wants to be a serious writer.
