You can still submit to them the old fashion way. <br /><br />I tend to deal with disappointment by occupying my mind with something else until the sting has passed. Often that something else is a glass of wine...or a bottle. :) Hang in there.

If I can't understand...Oreo's and tenacity. If I can't understand why my ms isn't hitting a cord with people, I will shelve it and start another project. When I come back to the first ms a month later with new eyes, I see things I might have missed before, or I decide that I'm right and they are wrong and I submit some more.

It did make me glum for a bit then I just sat down and worked on something else. Samantha is right. People that read your work and like it are a good judge of what you can do. Think of the competition we were up against. Maybe we got an editor who just didn't get it. I'm going with that angle. I believe in you and many others do as well. That isn't much comfort when you know things should be happening. Write something else. It will be better.Tierney Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128690134598491548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269553969601423148.post-77401957837489568002013-10-21T08:56:45.028-07:002013-10-21T08:56:45.028-07:00I have between 20-30 rejections I keep filed away....I have between 20-30 rejections I keep filed away. Rejection sucks & hurts, but I don't let it get me too down. I look to the people who have read my book, and loved it, and keep pushing me to reach for my dream.
