Another lesson I’ve learned as an author is perseverance. When I started writing, I sent short stories off to magazines and anthologies to get them published. I’m happy to report that on my 112th submission I sold a story called Never Trust a Poison Dart Frog in an anthology titled Who Died in Here? that had either a death or a murder taking place in the bathroom. Since then, I’ve had many more rejections of novel length manuscripts, but I’ve also had twenty-two published books. Rejection just comes with the territory in writing, so stick-to-itness is an essential attitude for writers.
