The thing about writing is you have to keep trying and submitting. A lot of us don't have the heart for the rejection, but you have talent. You are one of maybe three regular folks here who could be doing this professionally.

True dat. Rejection I mean.
The reason I never went into acting - had the lead or best female part in all the school schows. Was told I was a cert for RADA. Couldn't handle to constant rejection, made me physically sick. Maybe I should try harder with writing. But there are so many wannabes out there. I just can't see anything in me that would Argh. Ending the post before I go crazy. Cellar is fine for me.

There was a great piece, by an author whose name I don't recall, entitled "In rejection I remain" I'm pretty sure. It was about how this writer had submitted dozens or hundreds of essays to this one particular magazine and all had been rejected for one reason or other, finally they accepted one of his pieces and I think he chose to reject their acceptance. It was about 20 years ago that I read it and my memory is hazy.
I'll have to hunt around for my xeroxed copy. hmm, well that was easy. Sort of. http://thesunmagazine.org/issues/235

Yeah, once you're on the needle, there's no quitting.
