I always said I'll quit writing when I accumulate 1000 rejects. So none of the ones I get in the next 4 weeks count!<br />Rita~ you're a natural giver, adding something for yourself is highly recommended. :)Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115704751652270450.post-68865961763176270142011-03-14T12:38:02.710-04:002011-03-14T12:38:02.710-04:00I love it!

I mean how many other people hear "You're not good enough" 100+ times over one project and still press on? <br /><br />I've decided to give up receiving rejection for lent! Oh wait, that requires all the agents I've submitted to to agree to this as well. Oh well, better luck next time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
