Having Resilience as a Picture Book Author

  
You may not get your book published the first time you send it to a publisher.  When you do, you might not make a million dollars. Life is not designed to be easy, no matter how good or dedicated we are to being a professional writer.  In order to bounce back from rejection, adversity and unexpected obstacles, it is important to stay motivated and enthusiastic.
The achievement of publishing a book is a process which requires honest evaluation of your strengths and weaknesses. Make yourself accountable for your resilience as an author.
