Yet, what writers are told is to "keep submitting" stories that get rejected over and over.
And if you get published and your book is not selling? "Keep writing more books" and putting them out there.
And if those books don't sell? Keep writing and putting more out there...
Take what you will from this little observation--all I know is it's really hard to type in a straight jacket.

LOL, Kat! (((HUGS))) Hang in there!
Thanks, Krysti! :)
Can we share a rubber room?
You got it, Caprice! :)
Yup.
And there's Keven being very economical with his words...er, word. :)
Kat: who said writers are sane? We live in a world where all you do is judged very subjectively. And we listen to this advice.
Well...take solace in the fact that genius and insanity are close cousins.

"...genius and insanity are close cousins."
Yep :).
Yeah, it's rough. And you aren't a bad or middling writer either; the toch island books are much better than a lot of the YA fiction on bookstore shelves today.
Hopefully the market will return to some measure of sanity, so writers can be a little less insane to deal with it.
Thank you, DM! Your words are much appreciated.
