@NJSimmondsbooks For me, it's prayers, and support of author friends, family, and my non-author friends. Those things are invaluable. And yes, I've been working on other stories while I wait.
A little after thought... x.com/NJSimmondsbook…
Genuine question - what industry is fair? Tell me one place you have worked that was fair? I keep hearing publishing isn't fair and I'm like...but nowhere is. Literally when has anyone in business made a decision that isn't about money or market trends? The arts are no exception.
Resources for writers: @JerichoWriters and festival @JustMarveWrites offers query packages I offer mentoring njsimmonds.com/mentoring/ @ECWilsonWriter offers editing There's a lot of support out there. It's normal to want to give up, but remember the ones who made it didn't 💗
And it's not anyone's responsibility but ours to learn how to manage that. SO many people want to be published writers, but the industry can only take on so many. It's not gatekeeping or favouritism, it's a process we all enter. You've got this. Happy to answer questions ✨
4) You're not alone Lastly, everyone you see doing well has been where you are. Even once published/successful you still get rejected. It never ever ends. Resilience is not easy to teach bc many rejection issues stem from our upbringing/conditioning, but it's part of this job. 8/
It's too easy to panic and think 'my first attempt wasn't wanted, so I'm a failure'. No you're not. Write something else, try a new genre, take a break, learn more, enter some competitions. 'Keep going' doesn't mean flogging the same book to 100s of agents, it means 'expand'. 7/
It didn't sell then, but trends and wants have changed and it may do now. Words don't have a sell by date. I've also pulled books from querying and written something else, then years later re-written the first one and there's a market for it now. Nothing is lost. 6/
3) It's not personal I keep seeing people on here say 'it's my gender/ethnicity/bc I live abroad' - no, it's not. The agent or publisher is looking for certain books that they believe will sell and yours isn't it. I'm about to go on sub with a book I wrote in 2020.... 5/
2) Move on to the next thing No great singer/actor/painter/writer waited for one thing to do well before moving on to the next project. If you're always creating then there's always hope. If there's always hope then rejection stings less. Don't limit yourself; write whatever! 4/
I've been rejected on 3 projects since Sept, but I have 8 more in the pipeline, so I shrug it off. That's the reality of being trad published and having longevity. It's hard to care enough to write but also distance yourself emotionally, but that's what it takes. Sorry 😔 3/
Look after your mental health and prepare for rejection. Watch videos on resilience, read books. It's not enough to be a great writer with a great story, there's a lot of competition out there and it's not always you (sometimes it is). It hurts but it's part of the process. 2/
A 🧵for writers... I'm seeing a lot of posts where people are struggling with querying so I wanted to share my thoughts, because 'just keep going' is not the great advice people think it is. 1) Resilience is vital. Like any job in the arts, rejection is rife. It never stops. 1/
#amquerying Writers (and #agented writers and everyone else who deals with rejection for their art…) Here’s a great thread with practical steps and real-life talk for dealing with rejection/passes

I'm pretty sure no one guessed correctly yet, but I will never lack for food-based dog names! Lol! Going through all the answers again but as I do here is the next clue. Yesterday's clue - Food Today's clue - Filipino #kidlit #kidlitart #WritingCommunity #Giveaways
This is the newest member of our family! A miniature dachshund! The first person to guess her name correctly has their choice of a query critique or PB MS/1st 10 pages critique or AMA. I'll give daily clues until someone guesses her name. Clue 1: Food #GiveawayAlert #kidlit
Today, for my oldest daughter’s 16th birthday, she chose to volunteer with @beaglefreedom at their #FreedomFields location in Oklahoma. Oh, my heart! So many sweet, sweet souls looking for their furever homes. The little guy on the left in particular really stole our hearts. 🐶
At library event today, I met a girl who was excited to meet me. Turns out not only did her teacher read them my book. But every teacher in their grade has my book in their classroom. Thanks to an administrator seeing my segment on the local news.
Hubs @docfletch2016 is officiating a wedding today for a co-worker and I’m tagging along; gorgeous day! Beautiful view of the lake; already saw Elvis, watched the llamas and miniature horses and burros (from a distance today.) so beautiful here! @CapeFearWine
