In my own little journey up Successful Writer Mountain, I made it to "I've Got an Agent!" Plateau, and I'll never forget that joy and validation. But my book never sold and my agent and I parted ways, and I and my writing lived in Despair Valley for a while.
something I’ve learned recently: the feeling of rejection doesn’t end when you get a book deal. the book of my heart, a book I laboured over for months, is performing poorly. I feel like it’s been completely lost, no matter how much I shout about it — because no one else is.
