It's easy to forget that our work is often rejected not because it's terrible, but because it isn't right for that market at that time (or the editor reading it doesn't think it's right for the market):
"For over a year I continued to submit mss, and have them rejected - the last few with rejection letters indicated the story was pretty good, but I was American." --Nora Roberts
Poor thing. I hope this "Nora" person didn't give up. Who knows; she might have a future in the writing business if she gets her work in front of the right person....

Me, too!
LOL!!! But point taken.
Fun quote!
