PLEASE still have hope…your book is wonderful, and those people who rejected it don’t know what they are talking about. Idiots! I say keep positive…who knows what will happen with the other two.

Also, I know I came a bit late into the life of your blog, so maybe this is a stupid question. But I would love to know what your books are about. Jaye Kathie,

You are all so right. I'll allow myself 30 hours of moping and then I'll snap back. I agree with Mindy that the dance thing would be mighty appropriate at this point. Susan, I think you're right, but again, the thirty hour rule is still in effect. Mignon, I will have to do something nice for myself. A massage. That'd be good. And Jaye, I think you're right too about the bizzare publishing world...the one we are drawn to but curse all the way. I can't discount the fact she took me on right away and that she beleives in the work. Clearly she does. Thank you all so very much!!! I'll get back to you after my thirty gloomy hours. Susan, Mignon, Mindy, and Jaye,

It is so easy to get caught up in the prediction of defeat. Everyone says a first book won't get published. Everyone says you can't get an agent until you've been published. You know what? You got an agent right off the bat. You have something there, otherwise the agent wouldn't have taken you on. They don't do that for their health, they do it because they want to sell your book and make money. I know it's tough not to get down or feel hopeless. And trite inspirationals phrases that write-off your feelings won't help. You are allowed to have a mini-pity party. But once that's over, you must go write. Carry on, sister.

Eight rejections? Ha! You still haven't heard from two. Be the eternal optimist because you never what's waiting 'round that corner. I think NOW would be a good time for you to turn on some good old fashioned rock n'roll and go do that 'dancing in a public place' thing. Pshaw! Eight rejections? Ha!

Or even a finished story. You ARE inspiring. Do something nice for yourself! I wish I had an agent. Or even a finished story. You ARE inspiring. Do something nice for yourself!

You're still my inspiration! Hang in there friend. If these 8 don’t like it, they’ll be kicking themselves for poor judgment when it gets published and sells, sells, sells.
