I cannot claim to have had a hard time publishing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The hard fact is that not everyone does get published.
I had a period where I thought I might not be good enough to publish.
Don't sell your publishing.
Nobody told me how hard it was going to be to get published. I wrote four novels that nobody wanted, sent them out all over, collected hundreds and hundreds of rejection slips.
If I hadn't been able to get my first book published, I am not sure what I would have done.
Publishing can be tough. It has the ability to kill dreams.
It's still incredibly hard. Not just honing my craft but kicking down doors, getting my work published. Early on, I could have wallpapered my house with all the rejection letters sent my way. I put thousands of hours and pages into four novels that never saw the light of day.
I struggled for a long time to get anything published.
Publishing is not my world.
I had a very high-grade publisher tell me I was incapable of writing a memoir.
