It's amazing how encouraging it is that you're so highly rejected and ignored. I feel so much better about starting to submit to agencies now that I know how hard it is for a successful author to get his work accepted (anyone whose work has been published and highly enjoyed by my children is successful in my book).

I've just reread that and realised it could be taken as being sarcastic... But I'm being serious! I do feel really encouraged to go into it knowing I'll have to persevere and that rejections happen to the best of us. So thank you. πŸ˜‹

Haha πŸ˜‚ thanks Robyn, I’m glad you found it encouraging. It’s just the reality of author life I think - endless rejection and disappointment!

Thank you also for your kind words about my books. It’s lovely to hear πŸ™
