Elizabeth Clements
“It can be depressing when no one takes interest, and a lack of response makes the writer question why they’re writing at all. To have one’s writing rejected is like you, yourself, are being rejected. ”
― Lizz Clements, Apollo Weeps

Kristen Lamb
“Persistence can look a lot like stupid.”
― Kristen Lamb, Are You There Blog? It's Me, Writer
