You must stay positive!

Being a writer has high times and low times. This week I'm experiencing some low times. But you know what, it's okay. Because for all I know something better than what I had wanted is waiting for me. Maybe I took the wrong path for wrong reasons and had to get knocked back to take a moment and rethink. 

In 7 days I have gotten 3 rejections. Two on The Naked Truth (a novella) and one of my full-length sweet, Bidding Wars. Part of me wanted to climb in bed today when the third rejection came in right after the second. But then I stopped and thought, it wasn't meant to be. Just because they didn't like my stories doesn't mean someone else won't. It doesn't mean I've failed at writing. It just means that they weren't right for me, as I wasn't right for them. And that's okay. 
When I wrote, The Naked Truth, at the time I was thinking of self-publishing it. I wanted to have control of this story and after two rejections on it, perhaps that's what I was meant to do. The stories I have self-pubbed, I have had very good success with. Bidding Wars is a full-length sweet. Its going to be harder to find a home for. Sex is in...and sorry folks...there are not details in this story. The door shuts as soon as these hop in the sack. But, its what felt right for this story. 

Most of my stories I don't get attached too. I did with Finding Home. I love that story. And Bidding Wars has become one of those as well. It being rejected stung a little more that I would like to admit. A few tears were shed. But, the pub who rejected it isn't the only one out there. It will find the right home. I just have to keep faith.

3 rejections in 7 days is tough. And like I said, I could wallow and cry and quit. But I'm not. 2012 has been a great year. I've grown so much as a writer. Those rejections don't mean I am a bad writer. And you know what, I have my book with two other pus with answers coming soon. Response number 4 could be a yes...or it could be a no. But, I know Bidding Wars will end up where its suppose to. 

So as I keep my head up and chin high, I am going to be thankful for what I've accomplished and all the good things that are coming. I am blessed with wonderful readers who have given me great feedback. 

Here's to 2013 being even better than 2012.

You're so right, and I can tell why Bidding Wars is one of those stories close to your heart, it's fab. I'm on chapter three already and I may have a few ideas for the perfect publisher! Will let you know more when I'm finished. :)
