@dl_scarpe About the same. Sounds like it would be a terrible experience, but I appreciate a speedy rejection SO MUCH over no reply at all (which seems to be the norm).

@deathwizard57 If you’re getting your butt in the chair & writing & enjoying the process, you’re not a loser or a fool. Creating is satisfying.

@betancourtlit Every time Coop Einarsson felt compelled to clamber down the scraggy rocks behind the carport, dodge under the barbed wire, weave through the old tires and trash to sit alone on his boulder and wallow in the unfairness of it all, he couldn’t help but notice the chuckwallas.

@qmconnwrites Five rejections means you’re putting your work out there. Imagine yourself at the library or bookstore — do you take every single book home or do you put most back on the shelf?

@DNicholsAuthor I write for kids & I can’t recommend highly enough any writing workshop at Boyds Mills (once called Highlights Foundation). Adult writing? No idea.

@LisaLepki Patience, Grasshopper, Patience. Many agents will take forever to reply, some won’t reply. Lots of excellent books took dozens of submissions before anything happened. Breathe.
