Rejection Slips Quotes

I always knew I’d keep at it with the plodding doggedness that I used to master lump-less gravy and wriggle out of fitness classes; I always knew I’d get a zillion rejection slips.

It’s a shame publishers send rejection slips. Writers should get something more substantial than a slip that amounts to a pile of confetti. Publishers should send something heavier. Editors should send out rejection bricks, so at the end of a lot of years, you would have something to show besides a wheelbarrow of rejection slips. Instead you could have enough bricks to build a house Picture Quote #1

Most writers, including myself, had to endure a lot of rejections before finally getting published. You could wallpaper a sizeable bathroom with the rejection slips I have received. Don’t ever give up! Picture Quote #1

Nobody told me how hard it was going to be to get published. I wrote four novels that nobody wanted, sent them out all over, collected hundreds and hundreds of rejection slips Picture Quote #1
