Don't Let Rejection Deter You - video

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.

    I have marked this as a favorite. Rejection can be hard and often will cause a person to just throw their hands up in the air. Watch this video before it comes to that. I am sure I will. This reminds of words that a good teacher would tell a student that may have trouble in a certain subject. A little encouragement can go a long way.

    The old saying goes "If at first you don't succeed try and try again." If your book isn't the greatest there has to be a reason why. Search for that reason and edit the material until it can't possibly be edited anymore than let it sit for a while. Maybe later on there will be a method for filling the giant holes in your plot. Once the filling is finished then put it out again. There will always be a publisher out there that will take your diamond in the rough and polish it.
