This is probably the best piece I’ve ever read about rejection: "How Do You Know When to Quit?" by Toni McGee Causey.
All I could say was, "Wow," and, "I’ve been there."
Thanks to Robin Brande for the link.

I’m with Churchill, I think: “Never, never, never, never, never give up.”

Oh, I’m so glad this gave you some hope, Julia. I think it’s also a good piece for non-writers to read, because they probably have no clue what writers have to go through!
