Sometimes I think about the 80 rejections I got when I was querying. Then I think about the nearly 4000 Goodreads shelves my book is on without even being published yet… and the faith I have in the story…the DM’s early readers are sending or reviews they’ve posted. And sometimes I still wish someone would’ve bet on me. #querying #litagents #writingcommunity
