&quot;We can&#39;t give up on our stories, and we can&#39;t lose faith in ourselves.&quot; That&#39;s the heart of it, man! I have a few stories of my own that need some heavy persperistence haha. congrats!

Fantastic! See, you should have just sent it over here to a UK market in the first place. Kidding. Well done for sticking at it.

Amen and power to your persistence streak...may it always be stubborn;)<br /><br />I too submit all the time so I feel your anguish and joy:)

14 rejections? And now it&#39;s getting published? Wahoo!<br /><br />Perspersistence, indeed. That&#39;s a great word.

Martin: Don&#39;t be -- my next failure is right around the corner!<br /><br />Lyn: I can relate; this story in particular had to be overhauled two or three times before it was good to go.<br /><br />Deborah: 50 stories currently on submission? I&#39;m right behind you!<br /><br />Jay: Rejection stinks, and it never really loses its bite (four today wasn&#39;t much fun), but we can&#39;t let it

Another great story of your hard work and dedication to your craft. What great inspiration!<br /><br />Rejection is a part of this business. And it&#39;s hard to keep that in perspective when you get a lot of it.<br /><br />Glad your story finally found a home on Kzine (which is a great emag)

Snap! I sold a story on it&#39;s 15th time out this year. I really liked it, and I knew it was going to find a good other. <br /><br />Other stories, meh, not so much. But I am a lousy judge of my own work. Keeping my race score at 50 certainly helps with the perspersitence. <br /><br />Yes, I said 50!

Congrats. I cringe at what I wrote in college...some of my writings are best left in the trunk, lol.

Madeline: You&#39;re right -- and to quote <i>Miracle on 34th Street</i>, &quot;Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to.&quot;<br /><br />Derek: Mos def!<br /><br />Alex: And boy, do we owe them for reading our early drafts.<br /><br />Patsy: Bucket o&#39; Persperistence?

Congratulations!<br /><br />I&#39;m getting myself a bucket of that persperistence and applying it librally to all my work.

Milo, that is awesome - congratulations! Not surprised it took a little belief and encouragement from your wife, either. Mine prodded me as well.

It&#39;s all about faith - in our writing, in ourselves, in God/Spirit/Universe, in knowing we&#39;re doing what we&#39;re meant to be doing. Well done, Milo. :)
