Don't Quit

Read Proverbs 13-15

Proverbs 13:12 "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life."

This verse seems to be saying just the opposite of the title. Rejections are discouraging and disheartening, making our stomachs and our hearts hurt.

But read the rest of the verse. When the editor agrees to publish our work, it’s exhilarating—a tree of life.

If we quit now, we’ll never experience that incredible rush of elation. So keep going, keep writing, keep reading and studying the target markets, and keep submitting—don’t quit.
