Kate, it is slightly easier to take the rejection, however, when it happens, I always wonder if I could've done something different to sell the story. I always blame my synopsis on the rejections. LOL Gwen, I'm happy to help you in anyway I can. Probably, what I'll do is send you to Claire Delacroix's workshop on synopsis writing. :) Kristen, having the right people in your corner is just as important as writing the best possible book, IMO. Thanks for stopping by y'all! Maria, go ahead and print this out to add it to your “What Mel Said” notebook. :) LMAO!

And to be honest, it's a lot less heartbreaking to have someone turn down 3 chapters and a synopsis rather than a 100,000 word book you've sweated over!

I think every writer dreams of making the impossible possible, and this just shows that it is - provided you have the right people in your corner. Great post.
