Lessons Learned as an Author Continue

Another lesson I’velearned as an author is perseverance. When I started writing, I sent shortstories off to magazines and anthologies to get them published. I’m happy toreport that on my 112th submission I sold a story called NeverTrust a Poison Dart Frog in an anthology titled Who Died in Here? thathad either a death or a murder taking place in the bathroom. Since then, I’vehad many more rejections of novel length manuscripts, but I’ve also hadtwenty-two published books. Rejection just comes with the territory in writing,so stick-to-itness is an essential attitude for writers.
