Ah, rejection. The thought of being rejected makes my stomach twist into knots. I have yet to be rejected by any publishers but I know it'll happen. Every writer is rejected at one point in their lives. But I have to overcome my fear of rejection because it's not a reason to not try at all. Life is hard but breaking through all barriers and achieving a life-long dream will make it all worthwhile.
So even though I will probably be rejected by numerous publishers, it only takes one to say yes. And one will.
Even the great children's book author, Theodor Geisel (aka: Dr. Seuss) was rejected 29 times before his book, To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street, was published. So there's always hope. :) That man is one of my literary heroes.

yes rejection is hard to face sometimes like failure but look at it this way, you fall down seven times you stand up eight.
rejection does nothing but make you stronger to knock you strong enough to knock down thicker doors of success
due to Dr. seuss rejection it just made him a better writer i think
I agree wholeheartedly. He never took it personally. He just kept doing what he did and eventually it happened for him. Most people don't luck out on the first attempt.
