Three cheers for the support virtually all children's writers share!!!

I remember getting a rejection on the same day as another conference attendee. Both rejection notes had the same hand-written "I am sorry" on them.
Have you reached 100 yet?
No PJ....haven't reached 100 yet.
I'm kind of a light weight on submissions because most of my writing is on MG novels.
I do remember my first rejection: It was probably about 10 years ago and discouraged further submissions for a long time.
Believe it or not, I had a request for submission guideline rejected.
I have a much clearer understanding of the industry at this point.
The rejected piece was actually a PB and it will be back out within a week or so.
