Rejection, this will happen to all of us. This has happened even to the best of us. No matter how good of a writer you are you will get a rejection letter sometime in your career path. It's just the nature of the business. You have to remember to keep on trying and not let those rejection letters keep you down. Everyone has different taste and your book will not be the same fit for everyone. You have to remember to keep your head up high and to follow your dreams! Dreams can come true if you pursue them. I've compiled a list of authors and how many times they have been rejected. It just goes to show you even the best will get rejected.
Stephenie Meyers- "Twilight" was rejected 9 times
Jack Canfield- "Chicken Soup for the soul" was rejected 140 times
Stephen King- "Carrie" was rejected 30 times
Margaret Mitchell-"Gone with the wind" was rejected 38 times
John Grisham-"A time to kill" was rejected 16 times
James Patterson- a dozen times at least
J.K. Rowling- "Harry Potter" - was rejected 12 times
Christie Craig-"Divorced, Desperate & Delicious - was rejected 10,000 times!!!
Even the best of us can get rejected. Just remember to keep on trying and your dreams WILL come true!!!
Seriously, That actually makes me feel better!!!
