Great advice! Rejection is part of writing. Every published writer received a lot of rejections at one point. It's kind of like an initiation, haha.
Good advice, and really good choice for the day's letter!
Laura, Thinking of it as an initiation is fun! If only it ended like an initiation!
Thanks, TheyCallMeVarmit!
