... and back to the drawing board again.

They rejected the manuscript.

Not the drawing board, to the mailbox! To the next publisher, away!

You've still made it farther than 99 percent of us will ever make it. Keep going. Outlast rejection (and other assorted encouragement)

Feel better, think of Comic Con!

Well, that sucks. But keep trying - even the best writers got lots of rejections when they first got started!

Yeah, lemme show you my copy of Rotten Rejections. It puts everything in perspective very quickly.

Horray! Someone read your manuscript! This is worth celebrating after I get my first paycheck.

Keep submitting to agents/editors til you run out, then restart with the next ms.!
Even Stephen King was rejected alot when he started out, you'll make it too!

Never give up!

[gjohnsonkoehn.livejournal.com]

Did they give you notes?

[kjtaylor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and they used lousy grammar to do it.

*snicker*

Well, heck. I agree with the first comment, though: send it to the next publisher, maybe one of the ones we talked about. If you got comments &/or want to do some tweaking first, then do so but then resend!

I'm sorry :(

But just keep trying and you'll get there eventually. All it takes is determination and perseverance.
