ASPIRING AUTHOR FRIENDS! I was asked about my path to getting published, so I thought I’d post this sobering image. Every separate pile here is a new book idea ( Yes, I flipped them over. If you saw my ideas, I’d have to . . . ). There are always more rejections than successes. Even the published books go through many rejections and revisions. Notice the amount of work in those piles (does not include digital files). The piles with pink dots are in the process of getting published. Some of the piles were rejected, some are partially developed, some are just a few sentences to be developed. Every once in a while I spread them out to see if anything is ripe for picking. These do not include the books for which I was only the illustrator. I just thought I’d post this to hear you’re experiences or thoughts. DON’T GIVE UP!
