...Thanks for the insights, Kara. Fascinating stuff.<br /><br />Rebecca, good news for you. You've proven to yourself how strong you can be. And better news: everything I read and hear about the publishing world says persistence is the strongest trait you'll need. Well, you know you can walk that path. Stay persistent and the rest will come.John Davis Frainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020019400599228492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961445666519156260.post-70271759609229724632018-05-29T10:24:08.926-05:002018-05-29T10:24:08.926-05:00Lots of things to ponder.

Not pleasant to wonder if my premise stinks, if I didn't do a good job with character, conflict, or stakes. Or if it was none of those things, and just personal taste. But that's just part of rejection. Hard to know how to process it without the incredible weight of "what did I do wrong?" Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. But that doubt turned out to be a good thing. This week I have questioned everything from whether I have talent to whether I have the guts to keep working on the story I believe in. My conclusion. Yes to both. If I get nothing else, I got the chance to challenge my spirit to single combat, and I won gold. Thanks for the opportunity.
