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. I figured I’d write part time while working various full-time office jobs, and maybe, maybe in my 50s, I’d be able to quit and try writing full time Picture Quote #1

It had been fourteen years and I hadn’t had anything published. I had 250 rejection slips. I got my first novel published and it was called Kinflicks. It turned out to be a best seller Picture Quote #1

I am the luckiest novelist in the world. I was a first-time novelist who wasn’t awash in rejection slips, whose manuscript didn’t disappear in slush piles. I have had a wonderful time Picture Quote #1

I had immediate success in the sense that I sold something right off the bat. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake and it really wasn’t. I have drawers full of - or I did have - drawers full of rejection slips Picture Quote #1

Authors by the hundreds can tell you stories by the thousands of those rejection slips before they found a publisher who was willing to ‘gamble’ on an unknown Picture Quote #1

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

By the time I was fourteen the nail in my wall would no longer support the weight of the rejection slips impaled upon it. I replaced the nail with a spike and went on writing Picture Quote #1
