A place where I'll share publishing and other news, writing tips and strategies, and maybe some advice. Plus book recommendations and other things I love! Let's chat.
This was so refreshing and i needed to hear it. I'm writing my first novel, first draft done and I'm currently editing but the thought of even trying to query and getting rejected scares me. By the way, I'm such a huge fan of yours books 🤭🤭
Thanks for reading Reema! The query trenches are a scary time for sure. The best thing you can do now is to focus on your book, and educating yourself on how publishing works, which I’m sure you’re doing. I’m happy to answer questions!
As an illustrator I face my fair share of rejection too. It can be really demoralizing at times but as you said you move past it. It's so true about what you said about the highest highs not lasting as long as you'd think too.
It was a strange whiplash feeling when I first started publishing (small articles at first) - I would feel elated for a short time, and then the feeling faded. The same with setbacks. As a creative, rejection is part of the process...and not sure it ever really goes away, even when you have found success! Thanks for commenting.
