I feel this so deeply. It’s horrible to have your work rejected but downright devastating to have an agent or acquiring editor say to you, write like “X” author and resubmit. Been there. Done that. And it really took a lot out of me because I felt like I wasn’t enough. But authors, you are. The world needs your stories, poems and words. Gwen, thank you for posting this and for all you do.
Thanks for the pep talk!
