[Randex]Braving rejection

[O-Land News Junkie]

Years ago, I bought a thin copy of a book titled Rotten Rejections. [....] That companion helped me not to give up in my endeavors and on any given day, I'd randomly open a page for a reminder that even the most noted authors had been rejected at one time or another. For instance, here is one sent to Ayn Rand for The Fountainhead: "It is badly written and the hero is unsympathetic. I wish there were an audience for a book of this kind. But there isn't. It won't sell." Imagine if Rand had let that rejection stop her from forging onward.
