I spent the first ten years of my writing career checking my PO box every day, only to find rejection letter after rejection letter. Some were even VERY harsh. You do doubt yourself...but if writing is in your blood, you keep going. Oddly, the rejections somehow only make you MORE certain this is what you were meant to do once you've gotten enough of them. You realize nothing they say can stop you!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-75795167418378950442015-02-10T08:42:23.872-05:002015-02-10T08:42:23.872-05:00I'm not there either, but we'll just have ...I'm not there either, but we'll just have to keep working on it. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-36307517790559061892015-02-09T18:46:54.551-05:002015-02-09T18:46:54.551-05:00I haven't reached ironclad yet, but I'm ge...I haven't reached ironclad yet, but I'm getting there.Lynda R Young as Elle Cardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975442291393246148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-82409467247775511312015-02-09T14:13:47.352-05:002015-02-09T14:13:47.352-05:00Good to know I'm not alone.
