The author has 20 books published and just now feels she is no longer an apprentice writer.

We don't stop learning until we die. Don't be afraid to keep learning. Our world changes, our tastes change, even in reading.

The positive note I want to share is if you are reading this you still have the ability to learn, because you are still breathing.

Book ideas, true love, perfect jobs, some times reality falls short of expectation. Deal with it.

I would've never believed this to be true (Cancelling a book after contract), but a friend of mine had this happen to her.

Thankfully, they were a larger publishing house and let her keep the large advance.

Rachelle am I right to see it that way?

I know I hold my breath until my editor says, "I like/love it!" – because it's true, even if you have a contract, if you don't deliver what is needed/wanted/expected, your book won't be published.

It's a tough business – better love it a lot if you get into it. Worth all the uphill climb and angst and worry, though – it really is-just for those moments, all those moments when things DO go your way.

I've been there. On the eighth book, even. What is it about eighth books?

So you pout, but only for a day or two, and then you polish your saddle, and you get back on your horse. You learn a few new tricks, and, while you're at it, you thank God that He loves you so much that He has taken the time to interrupt your lovely life and turn you around (screaming and kicking) toward a brand new direction.

If you listen real good, you can even hear Him say, "This is the way I want you to go…" Okay. Yeehaw!

This combination of toughness and flexibility enables us to pick ourselves up, learn and carry on with the new knowledge we've acquired. It's hard but when you're resilient you'll always come through.

After alll, writers are readers too, and you've got to please yourself first, not try to placate an editor or agent.

I accept the risks without false hope. To hear that publisher rejection can happen and does happen is actually helpful. It makes me think about how so many great competitors don't win in the Olympics. Dreams are dashed and hearts are broken, but they still made it to the Olympics. That's worth something. I know I would feel devastated with such a late and final rejection, but I think I would try again with Olympian confidence.

Let's us know that even after success, rejection is possible!

The agent wasn't my current super-agent, Rachelle. If it were, she wouldn't have rejected it, she would have burned it (and used the hot ashes to goad me into writing a better one).

Second verse to the song: that book, laboriously rewritten, was submitted and rejected by a handful of editors. Sometimes a work product just stinks, no matter how much perfume you sprinkle on it.

Yeah, yeah…easier said than done. But still.
