5. There's only one person who's opinion of my work I value... |
|
Me.
Please stand back; do not crowd my ego.

12. And in the face of that.... |

Sanjaya (or however the hell you spell it) has a book deal. And I think I heard that that Spears woman has one too.
:nuke:
Not that I'm paying any attention, mind you.

Getting rejected means you're submitting stuff! And collecting rejections means you're submitting lots of stuff.
You'll start getting acceptance letters soon. :hug:

21. Rejection letters mean you're that much closer to getting published |
|
Publishing your work is some talent, lots of persistence, and even more good luck.
You can DO this! :hug: Julie
p.s. I got a rejection letter this week myself... I'll keep going till I meet my goal!

Thanks for the catharsis!

Before you know it, you'll be too busy with readings and book-signings to bother with the daily poem thread. And I'll be able to say, "I knew him when..." :)

You know, before I became a highly successful writer (grumble) I was a graphic designer...
Just a thought. ;)
