In June, my ninth MS will be published. Before it, six others went on ten rounds of sub over four years to about 12 editors each. It took three MS, Pitchwars, and at least 250 rejections to get my first agent, and more to get my second. twitter.com/sarcasmlemons/…Publishing = patience. #pubtip

One (baby) step at a time. I know it's very hard to do, but its very wise advice for anyone entering the publishing industry. #pubtip

#writingtip #pubtip Don't fight with your storyline. If it's not coming to you naturally then you probably need to rethink.
