If you could email your snail-mail addy to jessica @ jessicatudor.com that'd be great. I'd really like to get the copies to count toward her opening week sales. :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07038791555261462964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-38540977876505149532011-04-21T11:29:20.068-07:002011-04-21T11:29:20.068-07:00I haven't gotten to the query stage yet but I&...I haven't gotten to the query stage yet but I've read this advice time and again and I hope some of it is sinking in. I hope that by the time I query I am ready for the rejections and take any advice on board and keep at it and keep believing in my work. Thank you for a great post.Rebecca Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194524230109997420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-62607711376335905672011-04-21T10:14:59.536-07:002011-04-21T10:14:59.536-07:00How much would you love to do this though: http://...How much would you love to do this though: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1yYnCDFIhs" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1yYnCDFIhs</a>Spanjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893837904669368614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-75458695709483747322011-04-20T14:03:35.157-07:002011-04-20T14:03:35.157-07:00Intellectually I know I shouldn't take it pers...Intellectually I know I shouldn't take it personally, but that doesn't mean those rejections don't hurt. You work, you work, you work, and maybe one day you succeed. Maybe not. But, the maybe is enough to keep me going.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981159884498574786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-23358109842149474152011-04-20T13:30:32.789-07:002011-04-20T13:30:32.789-07:00I just shrug rejections off.

I've got so many ideas that I can fall back on to keep me busy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01677563505368503476noreply@blogger.com
