Throughout the process you are going to get turned down for a variety of reasons. It's hard to keep asking and sending your "baby" out there when you know it might receive another rejection. But it's important to keep trying! :)Cathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499035017930319113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1396431765334561025.post-47424663730774964642014-03-26T09:14:32.539-04:002014-03-26T09:14:32.539-04:00Thanks!

I'm a super fast writer but, with over a decade of working with student writers, I have to say the important part isn't the number of words you get down on the page but that you actually sit down and write every day. It's getting into that practice that's so important. :)Cathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499035017930319113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1396431765334561025.post-89119874535296558592014-03-26T04:23:51.454-04:002014-03-26T04:23:51.454-04:00I love how you kept trying regardless of rejection...I love how you kept trying regardless of rejection or non response, and it took one to make it all happen.

Then my mum was reading my MS and my 9-year old niece was with her and wanted to read it. So they read the book together and my niece LOVED it! Since then I've had kids as young as 8 say they like the book and adults more than 70 years love it! So I guess it defines Cathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499035017930319113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1396431765334561025.post-50690335389878137812014-03-17T17:27:52.226-04:002014-03-17T17:27:52.226-04:00Thanks for entering and reading about Five Corners...Thanks for entering and reading about Five Corners!
