Well, I have to say that I did have high hopes, I knew better, but I still felt that I had a chance. I guess it is this ability to hope that keeps me going. I will not stop because I know that someone out there will see what I see. They will love my characters as much as I do and they will want others to come to know them as I know them. I will continue to put forth the effort to get my book published. One letter saying 'No' is not going to stop me. I have a dream and I will not stop until I know that I have done everything within my power to see that my dream comes true. After all, isn't that what legacies are made of-the dream that could not be given up?
Above, you will see the official rejection letter from Arthur A. Levine. The words read:
Dear Author:
Thank you for sending your manuscript to Arthur A. Levine Books. We read it with interest but, unfortunatly, the manuscript doesn't seem quite right for our list. We appreciate the opportunity to consider the project, however, and we wish you luck in finding the right publisher for your work.
All the best,
Arthur A. Levine Books

Depressing huh? I look at it as just one step closer to the 'YES' that I so desperately seek. Wish me luck.
You put it right, "One step closer to yes"...wonderful. You are going to do great, keep at it.
