You don’t go forth with a project unless in your opinion it is viable and of benefit to an editor. It is your face before the editor much more than the writer of the manuscript at that stage. Then to have the editor, for whatever reason, reject that opinion causes the agent to deal with it. But for the sake of your authors I know you will keep the faith and keep on pitching for them. Each time I have spoken with an agent or editor at a conference, or received that lovely email that states, “good writing and good story, but…” I say a prayer for that person. Because if it were not for that person taking a look I would have no possibility for the email that will come some day, “just what we are looking for…extraordinary writing…we look forward to publishing…” As any good salesman knows, it takes going through the rejections to fine the golden acceptance.A JAJHawke.blogspot.com

It isn’t just the writer, it’s you as a teammate sharing in the sting. Admirable.

It also makes me want to give you a big ol' cyber hug and hope that I find an agent just as passionate as you.

On a side note – I do like to say…

God bless the agents, God save the editors

Our rejection provides an opportunity to become a little more like Him.

Q: I've been published in several mags, but I wonder if rejection is harder for published novelists?

I love your candor and your honesty that you post here. I guess it's nice to know that even agent hate hearing rejection from publishers as well. I had never thought of it that way before.

I guess I understand rejection, but I try not to take it personally. When you read about how many successful writers had their works rejected, but later published, it gives us hope. The right eyes weren't looking at it.

Just have to find the right pair of eyes to see what it is that we see.

Love and Hugs ~ Kat

It is becoming one of my favorites to read because you are not afraid for us to see the real you and you strive to give us the "real" picture. Thank you!

I do have a question from yesterday's post that perhaps you can address in a future post. What exactly do you mean by "dramatic structure" as part of the craft? thanks!

Rejections stinks, and so does waiting!
