I am now officially an aspiring author. Congratulations are in order. I have received my first rejection slip for my manuscript, JOHNNY AND MR.FREDERICKS. That proves I have written a manuscript, a synopsis and a query letter, and that in itself is quite an accomplishment for me!
Now, I have to have patience while I await a reply that accepts Johnny … and there is one out there. Johnny will be published! Just mark my words!

Good for you, Noni! A rejection indeed proves that you are a writer and very likely an excellent author. Many masterpieces have been rejected thoroughly before being published, which shows that some masterpieces may remain unpublished. I say that writers are authors, duly recognized or not. I enjoy your blog posts, Noni. Blessings to you…
Best of luck. I like your attitude!
Carol Ann, thanks for stopping by, and especially for your comment. I do appreciate your taking time out from a busy Christmas time schedule. I look forward to seeing more of your visits.
Jean, I appreciate your visit. Thanks for your good wishes. Yes, I have an attitude, and it’s a good one! Johnny will be published!
Yes, some of the most wonderful classics were rejected hundreds of times. At nightschool, we had an entire class devoted to rejection and it was hilarious to read the various notices! 😀 You are indeed a writer and author in your own right! Or is that “in your own write?” 🙂
Hi Heather! That’s both! I was just finishing a cup of tea. but you can make another pot. Thanks for coming by and I love our comments!
Glad you have that first rejection slip in hand and can get on with things. Johnny will be published. I’m certain of it. Can hardly wait to read it.
