(actually, a lot of the time). The important thing to remember is, are you happy with your new and improved version? If you are, then don't worry about the editor's rejection. It is, after all, just one person's opinion. And he or she always reserves the right to change his or her mind. Just remember that in the end, you have to be happy with your product above all. If not, then you might have lost your way while gathering all those opinions. Recenter yourself and find your way back! Good luck! That’s how the cookie crumbles sometimes.

After three re-writes, visits to my online critique group, a critique from SCBWI members, and some blue board members, I actually made this editor dislike my manuscript. The relationship between characters wasn't as caring and the story wasn't as humorous. Some of the corrections I made were according to her suggestions. I hope this isn't an indication of what may happen with my future revision requests. :) Brian Hi Cynthea,

I just got back my first revision request rejection. After three re-writes, visits to my online critique group, a critique from SCBWI members, and some blue board members, I actually made this editor dislike my manuscript. The relationship between characters wasn’t as caring and the story wasn’t as humorous. Some of the corrections I made were according to her suggestions.

I hope this isn’t an indication of what may happen with my future revision requests. :)

I'm so glad to hear you find the information valuable. Keep on climbing that rejection ladder. It's not always the funnest thing, but it certainly has its highlights! Plow on!

Keep on climbing that rejection ladder. It’s not always the funnest thing, but it certainly has its highlights!

Plow on!

I come back and read this section when I feel like I should give up, because I have received "personal rejections PLUS" but haven't sold anything. This helps me to remember that I have made some headway. Your website has tons of helpful information. I have recommended it to many people. Lee Your website is terrific.
