Thank you, Diana. I appreciate you stopping by and reading my post. Certainly, in the face of rejection, persistence is key. Onward, and upward!

Some of us who have always had our work soundly applauded and accepted quickly have perhaps a more difficult time with rejection. Not sure about that. But as a former professor, I learned to steel myself for rejections from academic journals, sometimes purely because my “methodology” was not one of the editor’s favorites. To be a novelist in particular, I think, requires the ability to accept rejection with grace and move on. “Nevertheless, she persisted” applies to so many of us, including women writers. Thank you!
