It doesn't seem fair to hit King, Bradbury, or any of the others who suffered hundreds of rejections before getting published.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637035864156536177.post-91979536958255486332010-09-22T05:11:21.484-05:002010-09-22T05:11:21.484-05:00Working on rejection is fun Kathy!
