Doesn’t it? I mean, you send off your project into the big wide world with high hopes. You wait for at least six months to hear something and then you get the letter back that says – no, thank you. It’s hard getting any rejection. And even harder to make yourself keep writing when you get one.

I’ve finally received my rejection from Harlequin/Luna. Which is really fine. But you know… you think you have a great story but when it’s been rejected umpteen times, you just want to throw it away.

For me, I get to a point where I start wondering if the project is worth believing in anymore. Do I try to rewrite it again? Do I try to sell it elsewhere? Or do I just throw it in the trash and call it done? Maybe it’s truly time to retire that book and forget about it. Maybe it’s time to throw it away and stop trying to publish it.

Or maybe I could stick my finger in the air and just try again.

Maybe.
