Whether it's in the form of a pleasing treat to eat, or simply inhaling the freshness of a walk in the woods, the best thing is to shake up your world and be glad to be able to do what 99% of writers can't do: go from page one to the end of a story.

After working long and hard to complete a manuscript, I'm just happy to have something to submit...still smiling after three rejections. Will I keep it pasted on after 10 or 20?

It's easy to make it mean they're stupid, I'm stupid, someone is stupid, but much more empowering to create a new meaning, like you said. Maybe something like 'Gee, they're not the right people to publish my work and the right one is still out there" or "Wow, it's great how many people are pulling for me to become a fantastic writer. How embarrassed I'd be if I became a best seller and yet I felt I could have done way better with my writig or story? I think with the next rejection letter, I'll take on I'm learning so much more with each passing month and when it's time to get an agent or a big publisher, I'll be ready - <BR/>Judi<BR/>www.lynnromaine.com<BR/>www.ecosuspense.blogspot.comInfogypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598764569161683076noreply@blogger.com
