Kathryn Stockett’s book, The Help, which has now been turned into a movie, was rejected 60 times before becoming a bestseller. In an article featured in More, she writes:
“I can’t tell you how to succeed. But I can tell you how not to: Give in to the shame of being rejected and put your manuscript—or painting, song, voice, dance moves, [insert passion here]—in the coffin that is your bedside drawer and close it for good. I guarantee you that it won’t take you anywhere. Or you could do what this writer did: Give in to your obsession instead.”
