Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author of legal thrillers, offers his perspective on the meaning of rejection, how to handle rejection from a publisher, and how to use it as a tool to improve. He says that you can't let the fear of rejection stop you from fulfilling your publishing dream. This interview will encourage you to be tenacious in the face of rejection. It will remind you that even the biggest authors have dealt with rejection, and if they can overcome it, so can you.

    Similar thing happened to me. I blogged a few stories involving two real people and used their REAL names, which weren't very common ones. They discovered the blogs, and threatened to sue. So I changed the names, but only because people close to me threatened to alienate me if I kept the names. So if they sued? Free publicity?

    I'm surrounded by people who perceive writing and dreaming is a waste of time and unrealistic. Teasing and discouragement are common norm here. I quit my job and start writing but I need to admit it is never easy. On numerous counts, I faced with a lot of uncertainties and worries. Thanks to my closest family, especially husband and kids who are my back bone of support. I finally finished my first book! Can't wait to see it out in the market.

    I am not concerned much with getting a rejection letter b/c for me, just putting the thoughts on paper and watching the story grow gives me a great sense of accomplishment even if it's only one sentence that day. Sometimes the next day may bring a whole page of writing! The important thing for me is to not set standards, like maybe two pages a day, because if the story is not flowing, I don't push it b/c that takes away from the joy of writing and therefore, there goes my feeling of accomplishment.
