Keeping Going: Don't Give Up

The Times (22/11/09) had an article about stress and rejections (I think it was linked to the credit crunch and loosing your job) and I was interested in what Judy Blume (children's author) said about the rejections she received for two years before getting her first book accepted.

"I would go to sleep at night feeling I'd never be published, but wake in the morning convinced I would. Each time I sent a story to a publisher, I'd begin something new. I was learning more each time. Determination is as important as talent."
