  4. Don’t Let Rejection Beat You • Don’t accept everything you hear. Ignore the cranks. Like bad drivers, there are too many cranks for you to police. • Be your own worst critic. No one will take your work as seriously as you do. • Don’t try to critique your work at the last minute.

  5. Don’t Let Rejection Beat You Don’t take criticism personally. Focus on the positive. Don’t waste your energies writing to editors and telling them why they were fools to reject your ideas. Instead, place your energies into moving forward. Either immediately revise the manuscript or send it back out for consideration elsewhere.

  6. Don’t let rejection beat you. • Don’t try to critique your work at the last minute. This is impossible. • When writing, don’t worry about criticism. • Keep the manuscripts in the mail, yet don’t mail junk! When you submit something, be sure it’s as good as you can make it, or, at the very least, that it won’t embarrass you. • Get to know the editors who decide whether or not to publish your work. Call the editor if you are unsure about a reviewer’s comments.
