Just 66 more editors to go...Kathy A.

I recently read the author Vince Flynn sent manuscript to 67 editors (not sure the exact number--it was in the 60s), and they all rejected him. He then self-published and sold out in a week...the editors then paid attention to him! I think Laure says it best...you&#39;re writing, and that&#39;s really all that matters (mmmmm.....chocolate...it cures everything!!).Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-77041579144043371012009-11-21T09:00:50.435-05:002009-11-21T09:00:50.435-05:00Hi, Krista:<br />How does it feel to be so different?!

Or sweets. I shouldn&#39;t be allowed to call myself a girl.<br /><br />But, I fully appreciate your love of chocolate and its true medicinal powers in times like this! Hope its healing powers worked.Krista Meisterhttp://www.kristameister.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-50317234719466735582009-11-19T16:02:52.678-05:002009-11-19T16:02:52.678-05:00Thanks for reading my little whine of yesterday. I had to make do with a mini Hershey&#39;s Krackle for chocolate, but that&#39;s OK. Tonight: chocolate chip cookies. I&#39;m making for them for my son. No, really, he&#39;s been asking for them...Kathy A.

I knew I&#39;d found a blog I could relate to when I saw two subjects dear to my heart: chocolate and writing!Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14186138266137470331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-5684442106457342712009-11-18T22:36:31.416-05:002009-11-18T22:36:31.416-05:00I think a piece of chocolate is an excellent idea! <br /><br />I also think that turning the &quot;perspective&quot; around helps. You&#39;re writing. If you weren&#39;t writing you wouldn&#39;t have anything to send out. You have no chance to get published or rejected. And you use the rejection as fuel - to fly higher, to try harder, to spur on greater growth.Laure Ferlitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14966163843633158039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-13833498389987380742009-11-18T21:42:55.847-05:002009-11-18T21:42:55.847-05:00Chocolate sounds like a great idea.
