Answer/Quote: “I submitted 18 different stories 180 times over a
period of five years before I sold my fist book. Suppose I had decided to quit
after 180 rejections. If you care about writing and can’t imagine doing
anything else, if you enjoy the struggle of shaping a story and finding the
right words, and if you love impacting others’ lives, you simply cannot give
up.”
