Never surrender. <br /><br />Second resolution: To keep practicing the craft so each new manuscript will be better than the one before and thus harder to reject.<br /><br />I know... easier said than done.

Opinions are like...well...we all know.

And I'm grateful for that. I love to encourage amazing writers who I don't want to see give up! Imagine how sad if the many amazing authors out there had decided not to write after the first rejection.<br />Louis L'Amour, Dr. Seuss, Zane Grey, CS Lewis, Margaret Mitchell, William Golding, HG Wells, Louisa May Alcott, Herman Melville, Mary Shelley, and Nicholas Sparks. And this is just a drop in the literary bucket. Be thick-skinned and continue on! Never Quit!!!Linda Glazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374683352435771715noreply@blogger.com
