C. –

Out of every reply I’ve read, I identified most with yours. Riding on the heels of a rejection can be tough (and frequently is), but I appreciate the definition of a writer that you posed. We stay the course if it’s truly in our soul. Thanks for the reminder today! ; )

And what did I see? These “passes” were all about success! Sometimes, it’s hard to ride out the process. This is encouraging, though I hope I’m still alive by the time someone says yes.

This has been an enlightening post. It brings back several memories of comments I have received. I can identify a hundred percent and agree with all that persistence is the key, and never become discouraged or entertain the idea of quitting. If you are ready to quit after a few or a hundred rejections, then writing is not really your game. Go ahead and quit, but… what if…

Yes, Rachel, having been an executive for a Fortune 500 company, I do realize what it takes/means to make sound business decisions. I just think it’s sad when the publishing focus has become so narrowly focused and risk-averse. Did the many agents/editors who rejected Harry Potter make “good” business decisions? Would they really answer “yes” to that question? Maybe they would, but surely they’d be justifying their choice. I have no quarrel when the opinion is that they didn’t like it or clearly didn’t see a fit for their company, but the ones where it’s clear the book was liked but no one was willing to fight for it, well, that IS just sad.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the pictures you’ve shared from editors—and your stunning surprise ending—said as much as a year’s worth of your posts.

I think this is my favorite post from you, since “I can’t remember when.” THANK YOU, Rachelle!

Unfortunately my agent gave up after 7 rejections and now “too many eyes have seen it’. On to the next.

Thanks for the post. We all tend to think everyone elses opinion is the ultimate.
